datatrash··on Math Problems for children from 5 to 15 (2004) [pdf]
Only read the first 4 problems. 1 and 4 have no answer and I doubt teaching math by utilizing logic fallacies does any good. First depends on potential subdivision. Fourth depends on the fill level of the vessels. Don't think that is the right way to teach anything.

Some of the first "problems" have multiple answers. I don't think that is how anything should be taught. First problem depends on whether or not smaller coins exist, fourth problem depends on the actual fill volume of glass and barrel. Those questions do not have an answer. Didn't read further than that.
