Opis: The Magic Garden of George B and Other Logic Puzzles - Raymond Smullyan
The author presents a bombshell puzzle so startling that it seems incredible that there could be any solution at all! But there is indeed a solution - moreover, one that requires a chain of lesser puzzles to be solved first. The reader is thus taken on a journey through a maze of subsidiary problems that has all the earmarks of an entertaining detective story. This book leads the unwary reader into deep logical waters through seductively entertaining logic puzzles. One example is Boolean algebra with such weird looking equations as 1+1=0 - a subject which today plays a vital role, not only in mathematical systems, but also in computer science and artificial intelligence.It's All A Question of Logic: Puzzles or Monkey Tricks; Which Lady; Which Witch; Which Island; McGregor's Arithmetic Tricks; Ask Eldon White; Al, the Chemist; Sane or Mad; The Strange Case of McSnurd; The Knight-Knave Disease; Human or Android; Variable Lying and Paradox; The Magic Garden: George's Garden; Some Neighboring Gardens; The Grand Problem Solved!; Boolean Gardens and Variable Liars; Propositional Logic and Boolean Gardens; The Boolean Theory of Sets; Boolean Algebras in General; Boolean Gardens Revisited; Another Grand Problem; George Boole and Mathematical Logic;
