Math Riddles and Puzzles 2011 :
Algebraic puzzles can be defined as those that involve any type of algebra to arrive at the solution. The question generally contains a figure that depicts clearly, the state of the problem statement. In order to arrive at the solution, it is required to apply the theorems and proofs that have been defined already. Algebra does not stop with general algebra alone.
Combinatorial puzzles
When a solution for a certain type of puzzle depends on the combinations or permutations of the entire input set, then the puzzle can be defined as a combinatorial puzzle. As stated earlier, the solution can be arrived only by using permutations and combinations of a valid set of required inputs. The solutions are relational within them and the change in one data set affect the whole solution.
Graph puzzles
Certain kinds of puzzles involve the direct application of graph theory concepts and hence, are known as graph puzzles.
Puzzles based on Probability
A wide variety of puzzles is based on the concept of probability. Pure probabilistic theorems and pre-defined concepts related to probability can be used to arrive at the solution. Many arithmetic puzzles involve probabilistic puzzles within them and use probability to arrive a part of the solution.
