A good introduction to Logic Puzzles,
By
This review is from: Fantastic Book of Logic Puzzles (Paperback)
This book provides a good brief introduction to logic puzzles. Readers get to explore classic problems involving those who (always) tell the truth and those who (always or sometimes) lie; how to cross rivers with limited capacity boats, etc. Each chapter begins with simple riddles that introduce the ideas of one particular type of logic problem. Successive problems are more difficult. By the end of each chapter, readers can solve very complicated problems.This is an excellent introduction to logic problems. An entire chapter of hints can help those who are unsure of how to proceed. It is particularly useful for me as a teacher. These problems give students some fun work to play with when they are done with their regular assignments. Those more familiar with logic problems may want to find a more challenging book.

The Fantastic Book of Logic Puzzles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fantastic Book of Logic Puzzles (Paperback)
This book would be a very good book for a teacher to read aloud to her kids as a starter for the day. The questions are pretty hard, but they're nice in that they get you thinking. It's a pretty good book.

Great Logic Puzzle Primer For All Ages,
By William G. Pratt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fantastic Book of Logic Puzzles (Paperback)
The "Fantastic Book Of Logic Puzzles" is a neat little puzzlebook for anyone interested in exercising their mind or just thinking away a rainy day. Muriel Mandell starts with some very basic "truth or lie" puzzles and gradually escalates the difficulty to probability calculations by the end. Each section is centered around a particular fantasy/sci-fi theme and is devoted to a particular class of logic puzzle. In here, puzzlers will deal with truth-lie scenarios, probability calculations, elimination grids, measuring puzzles, "cross the ravine" problems, and the like. Children will find this a great introduction to thinking logically, and adults will find the problems in this book fun to solve. Good for any age - highly recommended for anyone interested in these kinds of puzzles.
