I'm trying to find this book I occasionally used for didactic and fun-inducing purposes when I taught basic probability but I can't remember the author or the title, here are the facts I vaguely recall about it:
- It was freely available via Google Books as it's from I believe around 19th century
- Most modern probability and basic combinatorics word problems are based on all those problems in the book, some people don't even realize that
- The author wrote it during his tenure at a monastery somewhere in modern-day UK
- It has a bunch of problems with rather exotic/not so popular these days games like bridge
- It has a problem about men and women dancing in like rows (imagine those country dances of regional British nobility you see in some Jane Austen film adaptations and the whole idea behind such musical endeavors is matchmaking) and the question of the problem had a funny wording like "in how many way can a marriage be effectuated between the dancers at the ball?"
Any pointers to what the book is or a link to Google Books would be much, much appreciated!
