In this volume, Martin Gardner brings together logical and mathematical paradoxes presented as small puzzles. The seemingly contradictory situations invite readers to examine their own reasoning and to see how intuition can diverge from logic.

For readers interested in puzzles, brain teasers, and paradoxes.
