Hexaflexagons, Probability Paradoxes, and the Tower of Hanoi is the inaugural volume in The New Martin Gardner Mathematical Library series. Based off of Gardener's enormously popular Scientific American columns, his puzzles and challenges can now fascinate a whole new generation Paradoxes and paper-folding, Moebius variations and mnemonics, fallacies, magic square, topological curiosities, parlor tricks, and games ancient and modern, from Polyminoes, Nim, Hex, and the Tower of Hanoi to four-dimensional ticktacktoe. These mathematical recreations, clearly and cleverly presented by Martin Gardner, delight and perplex while demonstrating principles of logic, probability, geometry, and other fields of mathematics. Now the author, in consultation with experts, has added updates to all the chapters, including new game variations, mathematical proofs, and other developments and discoveries.

My favorite body wash
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My go to body wash, you just get so much for the price and it lasts forever! The smell itself is also very relaxing after a long day. It also lathers quite nicely and does it's job well, would definitely recommend

Smells Like You Have Your Life Together
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Cremo Body Wash with Italian Bergamot, Neroli Blossom, and Fresh Vetiver smells far more expensive than it has any right to. The scent hits that sweet spot between fresh and refined. The bergamot gives it a clean citrus lift, the neroli adds a smooth floral edge, and the vetiver grounds it with a subtle, masculine depth that does not scream but absolutely speaks. The lather is rich and concentrated, so you only need a small amount. It feels more like something you would find in a boutique hotel than on a regular store shelf. The fragrance lingers just enough to be noticed without overpowering your cologne or filling the entire room. If you want to step out of the shower smelling like competence and quiet confidence, this one delivers. It is polished without trying too hard, and it makes everyday showers feel slightly upgraded.

Long lasting soap, worth the cost, smells great
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I love Huron's products. Yeah, this soap is a little pricier than most, but it has one of my favorite scents from any bar soap, the Citrus + Eucalyptus. In fact, I’ve already bought the cologne of that scent. The fact that these bars are triple milled makes it worth every penny. It really does last longer. Having now tried the Sea Salt + Driftwood bar soap, I also like this fragrance, but not quite as much as the Citrus + Eucalyptus. It's a little warmer/earthier in fragrance, so consider that if you're looking for strictly fresh and light. A little more expensive than most off the shelf brands of soap, but worth it in my opinion.

Leaves the hubby feeling clean and fresh!
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
My husband loves trying new soaps. He looks for a few things when selecting one: (1) a great smell, (2) a good lather, and (3) after use, a clean feeling. He found that this soap (by Huron) does have a unique smell. It is a blend of citrus and eucalyptus, which is a little different from other soaps that he has tried in the past. He found that this soap lathers well, but warns that it does get really slippery (which could be the result of the shape). And he has also found that following a hard workout and showering, his skin feels clean. This produce does not include any of the bad stuff like parabens, phthalates, silicone, aluminum or sulfate. And he has not noticed any itching, dryness or irritation (on his skin) after using this product. Overall, he recommends it.
