This collection of problems is a sequel to The Art of Mathematics – Coffee Time in Memphis (CTM). It is a playful tribute to four giants of mathematics and physics I was fortunate to know well: Paul Erdős, Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, Israil Moiseevich Gelfand and John Edensor Littlewood. As in CTM, many of the problems in this volume are the kind they would have liked to think about. There are also echoes of the influence of my very early mathematical gurus, Baron Gabor Splenyi and the geometer Istvan Reiman. I was horrified when I realized that as I have grown older, I have completely forgotten a number of the gems of classical elementary mathematics I had known so well in my early teens. It is for this reason that several of those gems have found their way into this collection. These ought to be well known by most people interested in mathematics.
