Think Twice (eBook, ePUB)

Simple puzzles (almost) everyone gets wrong

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From Alex Bellos, the Guardian's Monday Puzzle mastermind, comes a new collection of 70 deceptively simple puzzles you're almost guaranteed to get wrong - but that's half the fun!

Every puzzle in this book looks easy - almost too easy - and yet, they'll trip up even the most logical minds.

Bringing together puzzles from psychology, mathematics, statistics, physics, geography and the science of perception, Alex sets the challenge and then delights in explaining why you so likely got it wrong and, of course, how you might go about getting them right.

A treasure trove of puzzles for novices and seasoned puzzlers alike, THINK TWICE will playfully stretch and sharpen the mind, and equip you to (possibly) outwit the puzzlemakers' future tricks.
