Description:

This is simply the best and most popular puzzle book ever published in the Soviet Union. Since its first appearance in 1956 there have been eight editions, as well as translations from the original Russian into Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. Almost a million copies of the Russian version have only been sold.

Part of the reason for the book’s success is its wonderful variety of puzzles ranging from simple “catch” riddles to tricky problems (none, however, require advanced math). Many of the puzzles will be new to Western readers, while some familiar problems have been dressed in new forms. Often, puzzles are presented in the form of charming stories that give non-Russian readers valuable information about contemporary Russian life and Customs. In addition, Martin Gardner, former editor of the mathematical games Department at Scientific American, has clarified and simplified the book to make it as easy as possible for an English reading audience to understand and enjoy. He has also taken care to preserve almost all the freshness, warmth and humor of the original.

Luxuriously illustrated with over 400 clear diagrams and fun sketches, this budget edition of the first English translation will offer weeks or even months of exhilarating entertainment. It belongs to the library of every puzzlist or recreational math lover.
