Abstract
This is a collection of linguistic-mathematical approaches to Romanian rebus, puzzles, poetical and juridical texts, and proposes fancies, recreational math problems, and paradoxes. We study the frequencies of letters, syllables, vowels in various poetry, grill definitions in rebus, and rebus rules. We also compare the scientific language, poetical language, and puzzle language, and compute the Shannon entropy and Onicescu informational energy.
