Ooh I loved these but especially the math problem books, anyone remember those? There were two versions I think, sometimes you had to add words and figure out the numbers each letter stood for, weird, tricky stuff like that. Probably should have realized my math geekness back then. Still remember the first problem in book 2:
Boys + Boys = Silly
Mathematically, S has to be 1 b/c you can't get an extra digit and have it be more than one. So 1 goes to the end of boys, so y is 2, then L is 4, so O cannot be 2 so O has to be 7 to still equal L and keeping in mind a one is carried over and you can't repeat numbers, B has to be 6 and i is 3.
Ah, the good old days
