Dear Readers,
The car pictured below is a stunningly beautiful MG-B Roadster, but I honestly find today’s original math brainteaser to be equally appealing, and you’ll certainly deserve the title of ‘MG’ for Mathematical Genius when you enjoy pondering and cracking this brainteaser!! It goes as follows…
In some future year, the reciprocal of Martin’s age on his birthday in the future year plus the reciprocal of the 20th century year in which Martin was born will equal 1/44, the reciprocal of 44. Your brainteaser is to figure out Martin’s birth year. A solution will be given in Blog Post #45.

My name is Paul Motwani, but my colleagues, my students and their parents mostly call me "Mr. Mo"! My middle initial, A, stands for Anthony, because I was born on the official feast day of St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of miracles and of lost souls. I love teaching Mathematics and Chess, and giving fun-packed talks and shows in schools and clubs. The popular ingredients of Math, Chess, Mystery and Magic are my "Fantastic Four", and I give prizes too! I am an International Chess Grandmaster, and (loooooong ago!) I was the World Under-17 Champion. I am the author of five published chess books and hundreds of newspaper articles. I live with my wonderful wife and son in Belgium. I also love music, movies and puzzles.
I blog at paulmotwani.com. My e-mail address is pmotwani141@gmail.com. You can find me on Facebook, too.
