Collected over several years by Peter Winkler, of Bell Labs, dozens
of elegant, intriguing challenges are presented in Mathematical
Puzzles. The answers are easy to explain, but without this book,
devilishly hard to find. Creative reasoning is the key to these
puzzles. No involved computation or higher mathematics is
necessary, but your ability to construct a mathematical proof will
be severly tested--even if you are a professional mathematician.
For the truly adventurous, there is even a chapter on unsolved
puzzles.
