  • Logic and Clear Thinking - 50 Brain Teazers

    by Roy Whitlow ...
    The great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said 'Logic is not a body of knowledge'. I would rather have it that logic is a clear way of thinking, of using knowledge. And that's what you need to solve many puzzles and teasers. Another famous writer, Stendahl, said 'Logic is neither a science nor an art, but a dodge'. Well, some of the teasers here might seem to be dodges, certainly some are trickier ... Read more

    by Roy Whitlow ...
    Here are four tales of mystery; each one is fiction, but each is also based on a folk tale or a legend.
