We introduce a large family of combinatorial objets, called standard puzzles, defined by very simple rules. We focus on the standard puzzles for which the enumeration problems can be solved by explicit formulas or by classical numbers, such as binomia
We propose a framework that yields instances of certain combinatorial puzzles. To explore such a fra...
