The most mind-bending puzzles on the internet appear weekly in
Oliver Roeder's "The Riddler" column. Presented by Nate Silver's
FiveThirtyEight, an online mecca for statistics nerds, the column
attracts a rabid community of puzzlers (including the coach of the
U.S. Math Olympiad team and a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory) who rush to submit solutions and extensions. Now,
FiveThirtyEight presents the first-ever Riddler collection,
featuring the column's most popular problems, which draw on
geometry, logic, statistics and game theory, along with six
never-before-published puzzles. The simplest require a mere flash
of insight, whilst the toughest involve deep applications of
analysis and probability theory. Can you rig an election? What's
the best way to drop a smartphone? Can you solve the puzzle of the
overflowing martini glass? Designed to appeal to a range of skill
levels, The Riddler will be the perfect gift for any maths or
puzzle enthusiast.
