Abstract: A unique manuscript of Archimedes(c.287 BCE-c.212 BCE) work was created in the  tenth century, palimpsested in the twelfth century, found and published in the early  twentieth century. Since 1998 it has been undergoing restoration and scholarly study at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore Maryland, USA. In 2008 the manuscript which contains "The  Method" was found to contain more information than was previously known about the "Stomachion." Chinese mathematician Fan Chung, working with her husband Ron Graham has found 268 solutions to this puzzle.
