pillow problems

Definition of a pillow problem: A problem you can do in you head without too much trouble, if you look at it in the right way. An interesting problem to think about while you are going to sleep, whether you solve it or not! This is one of the best collection of "pillow problems" I've ever found. Consider "Problem 35." Find the lowest number that has a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, 2 when divided by 3, 3 when divided by 4, 4 when divided by 5, and 5 when divided by 6. What a wonderful way to exercise your mind while you are going to sleep!
