    About this ebook

    There are three loops in a tangle of rope. How many are independent, and how many are interlocked?
    Two knights stand on a chessboard. How many other knights must you add so that each square is occupied or threatened by a knight?
    Among six seemingly identical drawings of mandalas, each rotated by multiples of 60 degrees, one is different. Which is it, and why?
    Challenge yourself with these mind-benders, brainteasers, and puzzles. Each of them has been carefully selected so that none will be too tough for anyone without a math background ― but they're not too easy. Some are original, and all are clearly and accurately answered at the back of the book.

      FOREWORD

      Pierre Berloquin, who put together this stimulating and delightful collection of mind benders, is a clever young Frenchman who was born in 1939 in Tours and graduated in 1962 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines in Paris. His training as an operations research engineer gave him an excellent background in mathematics and logical thinking.

      But Berloquin was more interested in writing than in working on operations research problems. After two years with a Paris advertising agency, he decided to try his luck at freelance writing and this is how he has earned his living since. In 1964 he began his popular column on Games and Paradoxes in the magazine Science et Vie (Science and Life). Another column, From a Logical Point of View, appears twice monthly in The World of Science, a supplement of the Paris newspaper Le Monde. Occasionally he contributes to other French magazines. One of his favorite avocations is leading groups of créativité, a French cocktail of brainstorming, synectics and encounter therapy, for the discovery of new ideas and the solution of problems—a logical extension of his interest in puzzles.

      Berloquin’s published books are Le Livre des jeux (card and board games), Le jeu de Tarot (Tarot card game), Testez votre intelligence (intelligence tests), 100 grandes réussites (solitaire games), Un souvenir d’enjance d’Evariste Galois (Memoir of the Childhood of Evariste Galois), and 100 jeux de cartes classigues (card games); he is co-author of Voulez-vous jouer avec nous (Come Play with Us) and Le
