    This article contains a list of nineteen excellent recreational math problems, mostly for serious mathematicians. A common thread is the use of unusual (one might say perverse) methods of solution, often from differential geometry. An example that captures the spirit of the article: ``Explain parallel parking with the help of the Frobenius theorem.'' Well worth reading!
