Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
The interest of a problem, to me at least, depends on the simplicity of its statement and the subtlety of its solution. The four-colour problem is a good example. When the solution of the problem also brings surprise, the interest becomes fascination. Good paradoxes particularly fascinate me for they even start with a surprise, and in this case the resolution brings another.
