A lively and engaging look at logic puzzles and their role in
mathematics, philosophy, and recreation Logic puzzles were first
introduced to the public by Lewis Carroll in the late nineteenth
century and have been popular ever since. Games like Sudoku and
Mastermind are fun and engrossing recreational activities, but they
also share deep foundations in mathematical logic and are worthy of
serious intellectual inquiry. Games for Your Mind explores the
history and future of logic puzzles while enabling you to test your
skill against a variety of puzzles yourself. In this informative
and entertaining book, Jason Rosenhouse begins by introducing
readers to logic and logic puzzles and goes on to reveal the rich
history of these puzzles. He shows how Carroll's puzzles presented
Aristotelian logic as a game for children, yet also informed his
scholarly work on logic. He reveals how another pioneer of logic
puzzles, Raymond Smullyan, drew on classic puzzles about liars and
truthtellers to illustrate Kurt Goedel's theorems and illuminate
profound questions in mathematical logic. Rosenhouse then presents
a new vision for the future of logic puzzles based on nonclassical
logic, which is used today in computer science and automated
reasoning to manipulate large and sometimes contradictory sets of
data. Featuring a wealth of sample puzzles ranging from simple to
extremely challenging, this lively and engaging book brings
together many of the most ingenious puzzles ever devised, including
the "Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever," metapuzzles, paradoxes, and the
logic puzzles in detective stories.

solutions were incomplete. Some problems are best solved with the
help of a computer, and can serve as original exercises in computer
programming. The book provides an enjoyable read, and should not be
missing in the library of any metagrobologist.'zbMATHDefinition of

the study of puzzles and metagrobologist an expert in such study.
