The Canterbury PuzzlesThere is really a practical utility in puzzle solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. 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 and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties. One of England's

There is really a practical utility in puzzle-solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. 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 and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties.
One of England's greatest composers of mathematical puzzles, Henry Dudeney (1847-1930) had a talent for finding solutions to problems that seemed unsolvable. With only a basic education as background, he began creating puzzles for a local paper when he was only nine years of age; later in life, he developed sophisticated mathematical problems requiring subtle skills.
This unique book for challenge-loving teenagers and veteran puzzle solvers of all ages presents more than 110 of Dudeney's puzzles -- not as individual problems but as incidents in connected stories. The first 31 problems are posed by the pilgrims in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: additional puzzles are presented using different characters in other venues. Many require only the ability to exercise logical or visual skills; others, like the Ribbon Problem or The Riddle of St. Edmonsbury, offer a stimulating challenge to the mathematically advanced. In all cases, solutions are provided at the end.
An extremely ingenious book which abounds in problems that will keep the reader busy for hours. -- Manchester Guardian

Excellent beauty product for mature skin
I have gotten at least four or five of my friends to use this product. It is by far one of the best serums that I’ve used. I think the most noticeable difference is the firming and plumping of my skin and the reduction of fine lines and large pores, especially on my forehead. I will definitely continue to use this. Once a day at bedtime seems to be enough and plenty and for the price it’s a large bottle and it seems to last a long time. It’s a great deal.

Definitely give it a try!
This product is fantastic! The bottle is huge, and even with twice-daily use (two pumps each time, enough to cover my face, neck, and chest), it lasted me an impressive eight months. I just ordered my second bottle. The retinal formula is incredibly gentle and is the only retinal product I’ve tried that doesn’t irritate my highly sensitive skin. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin looking smooth, plump, and healthy. I highly recommend it!

Clean Formula Deodorant with a More Natural Feel and Strong Performance
Scent: Neroli & Basil, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really like the clean feel and the scents are honestly a standout—they feel more like a light perfume than a typical deodorant. The application is smooth and it looks and feels like a more “luxury” product. That said, it doesn’t consistently hold up throughout the day for me, especially on busy or long days. It works okay for lighter wear, but I expected a bit more reliability for the price and hype.

The Best Switch Ever!!!!
Scent: Santal & Vetiver, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
OMG!!! I’m truly impressed with how this product holds up throughout the day + Its invigorating scent is a constant reminder that it’s doing its job, even during my busiest hours. The texture is silky when applying, and I love that the ingredients are healthier for my skin. The application is effortless and leaves no residue or stickiness, unlike some other products I’ve tried before switching to Salt and Stone. You should definitely give it a try; every fragrance is absolutely delightful, and you’ll surely receive compliments on how great you smell!

Gentle product that works well
Scent: Santal & Vetiver, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am not able to use antiperspirants due to allergy and have to rely on deodorant like this. I sweat a lot since I have hyperhydrosis so it becomes a problem This product is gentle and does not cause any allergies but does the job pretty well to keep a good smell. I do have to reapply it - its not a 12 hours effect. There isn't a white residue on my shirts (at least that i can notice). Its smooth and applies well
