%I am working on a program to solve one of those puzzles that you give
%your kids, one where you put the numbers in a 4x4 matrix in order and
%I want to look it up in a book, but I don't know what to look up.

I think this puzzle is covered in volume II of Winning Ways (games in
particular) by Berlekamp, Conway and Guy. I don't have it handy, but I am
pretty sure there is at least a brief discussion of it in that book.
