Description Mathematical Puzzles for the Connoisseur P. M. H Kendall, 1971 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0006W418O | 161 pages | PDF | 4,3 MB from the Preface: Nearly all puzzle books published today grossly underestimate theintelligence of their public. The reader can no longer be entertained with the simple match-trick or coin puzzles, neither doeshe want to see problems purely mathematical in nature, such ascan be found in any textbook. We have tried to produce a book ofthose puzzles which lie between the two extremes. Although most of the problems can be solved by logic andcommon sense, some of them may also be solved more elegantlyby mathematics. The essential ingredients of a good puzzle are not hard toestablish. It should be ingenious but clear, complete yet concise,if possible amusing, and have a unique solution. It is for ourreaders to decide how many of these puzzles bear comparisonwith this ideal. Completely new ideas for puzzles are unfortunately rare andso we do not apologise for including a few of the "Aged but notinfirm". Many of the problems are original and we claim to haveimproved others.   Related Torrents
