This book lets you match wits with master problem solvers in a fascinating collection of math, logic, and word puzzles that at first glance may seem impossible to solve. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love this book of puzzles. The writing makes you feel like your hanging out with the author, enjoying the puzzles together. There are a lot of great puzzles in here, as well as good writing. This book begins with "A word of welcome-- and of warning" from the author, James Fixx. "There are, I have discovered, two kinds of people in the world: those who love puzzles and those who can't stand them.*" The author goes on to explain and then at the bottom of the page, he "jokes"... "*There are also, of course, two other kinds of people in the world: those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world and those that do not. That, however, is an entirely different subject."
