The profound abstractness and enticing beauty of the 'queen of sciences' that is mathematics always deserved its spokespersons. Bhaskara II's LIlavati did it in the text form in the 12th century. Though it is the first volume of his masterly treatise Sidhanta Siromani, Lilavati introduces mathematical puzzles on arithmetic and measurement in verse form in Sanskrit. When social media consumers wake up from their stupor once in a while and share some math puzzles that helps scratch your school level understanding of mathematics, highly likely that it is a direct/derived/corrupted Lilavati puzzle.
