Product Description
Explore the truly false and the falsely true in these ten, tall, teasing tales! There's the spaceship computer that's a compulsive liar, the bamboozled barber under the sentence of death, a pair of robots who claim to be the same robot, and the spine-chilling experience of the man who crossed the bridge between Kirov and Vorik.
These stories, sometimes humorous, sometimes sinister, introduce the reader to puzzles that have teased the human brain for thousands of years. Join the crazy world of twisters, quibblers, puzzlers and cheats!
Classical paradoxes are presented in dramatic form illustrated by lively cartoons.
