# What should we do with [math] and [calculation-puzzle]?

I've noticed what I believe may be a slight redundancy in our tag structure, and am wondering if there's something I'm missing.

We have a tag, , for math-oriented puzzles, which is effectively the same as with respect to the information about the question.

In theory, all questions should be about puzzles. Is there a distinct difference between "math" and "calculation puzzle"? If so, how should we define the scopes of these tags?

If not, should we synonymize them?

The reason I ask is that many questions with do not have and vice versa, but I can't really see a difference between the two. People who ask these questions must be using some mental criteria to differentiate, though.

• Ironically, your question about multiplication puzzles is something I wouldn't consider a calculation puzzle, even though it seems that everything about it is calculation.

• The still-in-its-original-state description of the (recently redubbed) mathematics tag is daunting enough to make me wonder why it has been overapplied.
