Γριφολούλουδα (Puzzle Flowers)

Description

Let your bees and butterflies fly on top of the Kastellorizian Puzzle Flowers to enhance your ability in whole number division! It is the very first game made which is based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). The game has four levels, easy, medium, hard, and super hard. The goal is to detect a secret number by using remainder clues. Will you be the first to find it? Memory and processing are both used in this (easy to learn but difficult to master) game. The last two levels use 133 different flowers and plants found on the island of Kastellorizo. Some of them are endemic and extremely rare. The game has also some "mathemagical" predicting properties. PS. Very often (the so called) seasoned players underestimate and confuse the didactic value of this game, without realising that it contains a newly cleverly presented educational theme, never utilised before (for example, CRT, TSP, rare geometry, mean & variance, direct psychology, etc). Those players always compare this game with catchy-marketed games with flashy pieces that include zero learning value. —description from the designer
