Calling all puzzlers...
From mathematics to word puzzles, from logic to lateral thinking, veteran puzzle maker Derrick Niederman—author of Number Freak: From 1 to 200—The Hidden Language of Numbers Revealed, and designer of the mathematical puzzle 36 Cube—delights in tackling the trickiest brainteasers in a new way. Among the old chestnuts he cracks wide open are the following classics:
Knights and knaves
The monk and the mountain
The dominoes and the chessboard
The unexpected hanging
The Tower of Hanoi
Using real-world analogies, infectious humor, and a fresh approach, The Puzzler’s Dilemma is a deceptively simple volume that will challenge, amuse, enlighten and surprise even the most experienced puzzle solver.
