Are you attracted to paradoxes and optical illusions but have not attended higher studies in mathematics, logic or philosophy? With this fascinating book, packed with magnificent illustrations, we invite you to enter a maze of mental curiosities and incredible contradictions that have marked universal history and culture. You will be able to immerse yourself in a world of reason where nothing is what it seems and find solutions to dilemmas or figures that will seem impossible to you. Do you like Escher's stairs? Find out here how they would be feasible in outer space. Do you know the famous prisoner's dilemma? Here you will find it explained in detail. Also, with the help of the author you will be able to solve paradoxes of probability, time or statistical investment, among others. Don't be afraid, although many speak of sophisticated concepts and logical reasoning, none of them need a deep knowledge of the subject.
