Among many dozens of brilliant and
extremely popular books by Martin Gardner, the two
"Aha!" collections are quite outstanding, as they are
devoted entirely to "non-standard" challenges, or
challenges with "Aha!" effect. These are challenges
which seem to be difficult of even impossible to solve,
but have simple and clear (and often surprising) answers
and solutions. All what puzzlers need to solve "Aha!"
puzzles is his or her ability to think
"quite-out-of-a-box."
This single volume contains 145 "Aha!" challenges sorted
in the following groups: logic, numbers, geometry,
probability, statistics, time, combinatorics,
procedures, and words. Each puzzle is given in a funny
form, and its solution always evokes nice feelings. The
book is highly recommended to all puzzlers who love
creative thinking blended with pleasant humor.
