Lady or the Tiger? And Other Logic Puzzles

Inspired by the classic tale of a prisoner’s choice between two doors, these whimsically themed challenges allow readers to base their decisions on logic rather than luck. Nineteen chapters advance from relatively simple puzzles and meta-puzzles to highly complex paradoxes involving probability, time, and change. The author, a well-known philosopher and magician as well as a celebrated mathematician and logician, was acclaimed by The New York Times as “a master at translating difficult ideas into stories and puzzles that require no formal background, only patience and a passion to learn.”
