At twenty past eleven, a bell rings from the museum kitchens, shut since 1949. Behind the bronze doors waits a feast: nine loaves, ten plates, and a problem copied by an Egyptian scribe 3,500 years ago. Rosie is sure that an eighth is more than a quarter. The Curator locks the doors.

About the Code Crackers series
Code Crackers is a series of illustrated adventures for readers aged ten to twelve about mathematics, logic and codes. Jamal, a puzzle fan, and Rosie, who hates maths, spend nights at the old Halden Puzzle Museum where Jamal's aunt is the night guard, and keep getting locked into its wings, where every door opens only to real maths. Each book delivers one maths topic through a locked room with real stakes, and shows who first found the pattern.
