Synopsis
This collection of brainteasers should keep readers amused. It features the harem of the Great Tamerlane, Englishmen stranded on a desert island, and the twins Peter and Paul, one of whom tells the truth and one who always tells lies., Los acertijos, las adivinanzas y los problemas de ingenio han apasionado a las personas desde siempre, porque representan desafíos muy entretenidos para su inteligencia e imaginación. Este entretenido libro presenta una gran variedad de problemas de ingenio cuya solución, más que conocimientos específicos en determinadas, requiere la aplicación de razonamiento lógico elemental y mucho sentido común. Por eso, el mismo autor recomienda no complicarse demasiado y asumir cada reto como una oportunidad para divertirse. Y si la solución no surge al primer intento, bueno, hay que considerarlo con más calma y darse tiempo. En su conjunto estos problemas de ingenio presentan una gran variedad de situaciones que contribuyen a hacer el texto mucho más entretenido. En efecto, aquí tenemos desde el harén del gran Tamerlán con sus concubinas hasta un misterioso crimen cometido a bordo de un tren, donde el lector sólo cuenta con el testimonio de los pasajeros para resolverlo., Don't try too hard. That's the secret. The solutions to these tantalizing teasers take common sense, not great knowledge of deep subjects. So relax, have fun, and wait for the answers to bob to the surface. Along the way you'll meet a strange collection of humanity: the harem of the Great Tamerlane; Englishmen stranded on a desert island; the twins Peter and Paul, one of whom always tells the truth and one who always lies (you figure out who's lying when one of them answers one question with one word). Solve a murder on a train as four fellow passengers speak only one sentence each. Try this short teaser: The month begins on a Friday and ends on a Friday, too. What month is it? Win bets by shifting coins from one design to another with the fewest moves. Guess your beautiful math teacher's zodiac sign. Take on the fiendishly frustrating Hidden Words and Secret Numbers, and play dominos with no dots. Hints and clues are available along the way, and so are the answers if you try too hard and simply have to have them. 96 pages, 60 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4., The solutions to these tantalizing teasers take common sense, not great knowledge. Meet a strange collection of humanity: the harem of the Great Tamerlane; Englishmen stranded on a desert island; the twins Peter and Paul, one of whom always tells the truth and one who always lies. Take on the fiendishly frustrating Hidden Words and Secret Numbers, and play dominos with no dots. Hints and clues are available along the way, and so are the answers.
