Science Fiction Puzzle Tales by 6979518|Martin Gardner book cover

πŸ“˜ Science Fiction Puzzle Tales
 by Martin Gardner

By a mathematician famous for his "games" published regularly in "Scientific American", a series of 34 problems in the form of short science fiction stories published from 1976 in "Isaac Asimov's science fiction magazine". The interesting part of these problems comes is that each is extended by a series of three answers, graded by comprehension. It is obvious that the first two do not bring the solution but can lead to it. Pleasant and instructive.

 by Martin Gardner

"Gardner's Whys and Wherefores includes articles on the puzzles in James Joyce's Ulysses and on the fantasies of Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Lord Dunsany, Gilbert Chesterton, and H. G. Wells. Gardner expresses strong opinions about the "anthropic principle," computer games capable of discovering scientific laws, the philosophy of W. V. Quine, Marvin Minsky's view of the workings of the mind, the idiosyncracies of social theorist Allan Bloom, the reality of unknown digits that "sleep" in pi, and whether physicists are really on the verge of discovering Everything."--BOOK JACKET.
