內容簡介: |
Previously published separately, the two books aha! Gotcha and
aha! Insight are here combined as a single volume. The aha! books,
as they are referred to by fans of Martin Gardner, contain 144
wonderful puzzles from the reigning king of recreational
mathematics. In this combined volume, you will find puzzles ranging
over geometry, logic, probability, statistics, number, time,
combinatorics, and word play. Gardner calls these puzzles aha!
problems, that ''seem difficult, and indeed are difficult if you go
about trying to solve them in traditional ways. But if you can free
your mind from standard problem solving techniques, you may be
receptive to an aha! reaction that leads immediately to a solution.
Don''t be discouraged if, at first, you have difficulty with these
problems. After a while you will begin to catch the spirit of
offbeat, nonlinear thinking, and you may be surprised to find your
aha! ability improving.''
