Customer Reviews

this is a very good time killer

This is great if you want to get together with friends and ask question the questions are not extremely hard it just take logical thinking, it seems easy but some of it can really confuse you. So it's a buy, and very cheap now.

A wonderful little book!

Whatever you do, dear reader, do not read this book straight through. Attempting this will introduce you quite early in your reading to the logical fallacy known as the Binary Nature of All Assertions, which (mis)states that anything & everything is either true or false. The first puzzle resides in an ambiguous state, which, per se, is fine by me. Too bad the authoring logicians disagree, arbitrarily choosing one of these states from the ether for their so-called solution. I give this book 5 stars not in spite but, rather, because of this failing. For not all books carry their utility in their logic. This book would make a wonderful practical joke gift to a friend or, perhaps, an enemy. But never claim to have solved every puzzle in the book, for someone might realize on puzzle 1A, if they have a brain, that you don't have a brain. Another use would be to give this book out to the youth of a generation & make them despise this thing they don't get called logic, tempting them into the soft arms of faith, & saving them into the kingdom of heaven where reigns a god whom none have seen but all believe. In short, having mastered the logic of this book, I give it a 5!
