The Puzzler's Dilemma explores the world of classic logic puzzles, and tells the amazing stories behind them, from the Lighthouse of Alexandria to code-breaking with the Enigma machine. Here are brain teasers that even maths whizzes have never seen explained by a mind as nimble as Derrick Niederman's, author of Number Freak and The New York Times's near-genius crossword setter. "A man is found dead in a room, hanging from a rope with only a puddle of water beneath him: What happened?" Just the thing to get your brain working at full speed!
