"Regular exercise is supposed to be as necessary for the brain as for the body. Many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles for sweeping them away." - Henry Dudeney (1847-1930)

Henry Ernest Dudeney (1857 - 1930) was an English author and mathematician who specialised in logic and mathematical games. He is known as one of the country's foremost puzzle-makers.
