He seemed somewhat puzzled when I explained that the reason I don't is that I'm a Gemini." "Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements: they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong.'"

Martin Gardner Klappentext This fanciful, original collection for readers of all ages features arithmetic puzzles, logic problems related to crime detection, and logic "and" arithmetic puzzles involving King Arthur and his Dogs of the Round Table.
