Perplexing

Contains mathematical brain teasers, first published in 1917, as the puzzles regularly appeared in newspapers and magazines. This book includes new twists on old puzzles, as well as other puzzles - some reasonably easy and others very hard.

Harry Kesten has had a profound influence on probability theory for over 30 years. To honour his achievements a number of prominent probabilists have written survey articles on a wide variety of active areas of contemporary probability, many of which are closely related to Kesten's work.

Combines two previously published works, resulting in ninety-three brain-teasing puzzles, riddles, and questions with an emphasis on humor.
