The Canterbury PuzzlesThere is really a practical utility in puzzle solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. Regular exercise is supposed to be as necessary for the brain as for the body. Many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties. One of England's

There is really a practical utility in puzzle-solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. Regular exercise is supposed to be as necessary for the brain as for the body. Many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties.
One of England's greatest composers of mathematical puzzles, Henry Dudeney (1847-1930) had a talent for finding solutions to problems that seemed unsolvable. With only a basic education as background, he began creating puzzles for a local paper when he was only nine years of age; later in life, he developed sophisticated mathematical problems requiring subtle skills.
This unique book for challenge-loving teenagers and veteran puzzle solvers of all ages presents more than 110 of Dudeney's puzzles -- not as individual problems but as incidents in connected stories. The first 31 problems are posed by the pilgrims in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: additional puzzles are presented using different characters in other venues. Many require only the ability to exercise logical or visual skills; others, like the Ribbon Problem or The Riddle of St. Edmonsbury, offer a stimulating challenge to the mathematically advanced. In all cases, solutions are provided at the end.
An extremely ingenious book which abounds in problems that will keep the reader busy for hours. -- Manchester Guardian

Excellent combo pack.
The cleaner & protectant and VRP protectant are my new go to cleaner and protectant wipes, I’ve been using another brand for 30+ years but it’s time to try other brands, I bought these to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint, it works very well, I work in very dusty environments trying to clean and protect the interior is an ongoing battle, so far this combo cleaner and protectant is doing its thing as expected, the cleaner wipes are not heavily soaked but with just the right amount without leaving any streaks and the same goes for the protectant wipes.

Great
The VRP polish was not available so used the wipes, excellent results. I used it for my engine detailing, I also used it on my motorcycle for the plastic and restored the color.

Just OK
I did not care for this product. Maybe I didn't use it right but it was oily and left streaks on my doors and dash. The window cleaner was just ok.

Sturdy and secure
It took a few tries to get it positioned exactly as i wanted it but once that was done it hasn't moved. I have a Samsung s25fe phone with a case and it fits just fine. Seems secure. It does shake slightly while driving on bumpy roads but it doesn't move positions and I don't feel like my phone is going to fall. So far it's been great.

Quality cell phone mount.
The best cell phone mount I ever used. Quality is obvious after you easily install. This hasn’t moved since I placed it in my car. I like that it doesn’t block the air vent too. (You can move any angle you like). Won’t disappoint! Good buy!
