Fun Math

The joy of suddenly learning a former secret and the joy of suddenly discovering a hitherto unknown truth are the same to me; both have the flash of enlightenment, the almost incredibly enhanced vision, and the ecstasy and euphoria of released tension.

- Paul R. Halmos, I Want to be a Mathematician, Washington: MAA Spectrum, 1985

Everyone has their own favorite web distractions (you know the ones I mean). Mathematicians are no different. While it's impossible to list ALL the fun and entertaining sites out there, here's a starter list of some good ones. Some are just plain fun, some are helpful, and some defy description. If you have a FUN favorite that's not here, email me and I'll see if I can fit in on this fun page.
