...just met Mr. Miyamoto a few minutes ago [Laughs]. This is one of his first trips ever to the United States. One thing that surprised me, he's not really a puzzle-head like I was expecting. I have a whole shelf downstairs dedicated to Sam Loyd, one of the greatest puzzlemakers of all time, particularly of mathematical ones in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are literally thousands of newspaper and magazine articles with his puzzles in them. And Mr. Miyamoto had never heard...
...Does Mr. Miyamato create every single puzzle...
What do you think about Mr. Miyamoto's teaching philosophy, the notion that puzzles can improve people's overall thinking skills...
Solving puzzles makes you a better person. You learn flexibility of thinking, and you learn to think practically. I think Mr. Miyamoto has a point: often in math class, you're taught formulas and maybe you don't fully understand the formulas, you're just going through the paces, these artificial things you've learned. But when you finish a puzzle, you really have a complete understanding of what you did. You understand the mathematics better, and you feel prouder of yourself for having figured it out from start to finish...
