Top review from the United States

Hiram Gòmez Pardo Venezuela
5.0 out of 5 stars The everlasting challenge!
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2005
The whole materialization of this book was due the kind permission of Scientific American based on a smart and very antique idea: to recreate and diffuse all kind of ingenious problems, challenging riddles and daring enunciates from the most lucid minds around the world. From the sagacious inventive of Lewis Carroll all kinds of creative problems will put you in action and magnificent good mental shape to resolve a wide gamut of several and clever problems.

Geometry, elemental physics, advanced logic will defile and bet for its eventual resolution, through a series of funny stories and suggestive anecdotes as the famous device employed by Kant to set the appropriate time once his watch disarranged.

The pleasant style of Martin Gardner in his role such master ceremony constitutes a splendid opportunity to let you to invade for the most astonishing and smart questions.
