with this special collection that contains contributions from some
of the most respected puzzlemasters, magicians and mathematicians,
including: - John H. Conway - William R. Gosper - Ed Pegg, Jr. -
Roger Penrose - Raymond Smullyan - Peter Winkler And of course
there is something from the orignal puzzlemaster himself, Martin
Gardner.

puzzle vessels - Paper folding - Mongolian interlocking puzzles -
