First Sentence
It will be remembered that in the usual version of the Arabian Nights, a certain monarch, having reason to believe in the infidelity of his queen, not only had her put to death but vowed by his beard and the Prophet to espouse each night the most beautiful maiden in his dominions, and the next morning to deliver her to the executioner.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's never been so much fun to learn., 26 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Riddle of Scheherazade: And Other Amazing Puzzles, Ancient & Modern (Hardcover)

This book is a cleaverly crafted web of logic problems with thier corresponding solutions. It begins with simple riddles and math problems then quickly leads you to deeper and more facinating problems. These puzzles are arranged in a wonderful narrative with the problems getting increasing complex. Depending on your level of interest, some of the more complex puzzles can easliy go over your head if you let them. The book is definately a lot of fun for math and logic buffs that enjoy being entertained and challenged.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Example of the Mysteries of Logic, 29 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Riddle of Scheherazade: And Other Amazing Puzzles, Ancient & Modern (Hardcover)

In this tale, Raymond Smullyan takes us on a fantastic journey from Ancient Persia, when women befuddled kings for their lives. The book then takes a twist into the modern-day field of coercive logic and Godel's Incompleteness Theorm, all the time throwing enough puzzles at us to have us reeling and groping for an eternally mysterious truth. It has aided me greatly in my quest for logical understanding.
