SYNOPSIS: These unique mind-stretching puzzles call for clear, logical thinking and reasoning. No specialized mathematics is involved in the puzzles, though numbers do enter to some extent. There are no traps - no double meanings - no false scents - only straightforward situations, in varying degrees of complexity. The solutions call for ingenuity, imagination, and insight - and, above all, for the ability to stay with the thread of reasoning, wherever it leads and however unlikely its meanderings. Mr. Emmet is the author also of Learning to Think and Thinking Clearly. He holds strongly the view that our educational system today places too much emphasis on remembering and not enough on the use of the mind for thinking. The world in which he moves in this book is the unreal world of "closed system" thinking, where there is no place for what is probable or uncertain. If we are told that Duggie is a liar we can e sure there will be no deviation from his untruthfulness, that no change of heart or thoughtlessness on his part will result in truth slipping through. The puzzles are of varying types and arranged in order of difficulty. The puzzle buff is certain to derive pleasure, entertainment, and relaxation from Brain Puzzlers' Delight; more, and as a bonus, he will emerge with a mind elegantly exercised in disciplined, systematic, and resourceful thinking. But again, this will be lagniappe - the book is for enjoying. Solutions will full explanations appear at the close. Some of The Puzzles - MISCELLANEOUS - EASY Who Killed Popoff?
