'The collection contains many delightful and enjoyable problems
that are either original or taken from old books, which are no
longer easily accessible. I especially like the detailed solutions,
which make it clear that the author has carefully re-examined all
the old problems and often discovered that the previously published
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
metagrobolize: puzzle, mystify; puzzle out. Hence, metagrobology is
the study of puzzles and metagrobologist an expert in such study.
David Singmaster is possibly the world's best known
metagrobologist. He gained prominence in the 1980s with a booklet
on how to solve the Rubik's Cube.This book is a collection of over
200 problems that David Singmaster has composed since 1987. Some of
the math problems have appeared in his various puzzle columns for
BBC Radio and TV, Canadian Broadcasting, Focus (the UK popular
science magazine), Games and Puzzles, the Los Angeles Times,
Micromath, the Puzzle a Day memo pad and the Weekend Telegraph.
While some of these are already classics, many of the puzzles have
not been published elsewhere previously.Puzzle enthusiasts of all
ages will find here arithmetic problems, properties of digits;
monetary problems; alpha-metics; Diophantine problems; magic
figures; sequence problems; logical problems; geometric problems;
physics problems; combinatorial problems; geographic problems;
calendar problems; clock problems; dissection problems and verbal
problems.Can you solve it? Are you smarter than a metagrobologist?
Check out Alex Bellos's Monday Puzzle on The Guardian as he
features two sequence puzzles from the book.
