Write about solving a mathematical puzzle or problem as if you were a detective solving a crime.

Just like solving a criminal case, tackling a math problem requires critical thinking, logical deduction, and persistence. In this prompt, approach a math problem as if it were a mystery to be solved. Take the reader through your own thought process of identifying the problem, putting together clues (the mathematical operations), and solving it–all wrapped in the narrative of a detective story.
