Download or read book Super Lateral Thinking Puzzles written by Paul Sloane and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stand out from the pack--don't think conventionally, think laterally! And, you can start developing well-honed mental skills with more than 80 braintwisting puzzles that test your creativity and smarts. At first it might not seem as if there's enough information to solve them, but if you just persist, you'll come up with the logical answers. Some of the conundrums come from real life: try to figure out how the Greek playwright Aeschylus could have been killed by a tortoise or how the truth about Mary Queen of Scots' baldness was finally revealed. Or, give this a shot: A runner was awarded a prize for winning a marathon. But, the judges disqualified him when they saw a picture of his wristwatch. Why? Happy puzzling! Answer: A picture of the runner early in the race showed him wearing his watch on his right wrist. When he crossed the finishing line it was on his left wrist. The judges investigated and found that one man had run the first half and his identical twin brother ran the second half of the race.

Download or read book Logic Puzzles written by Clarity Media and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to this fantastic collection of 50 brand-new logic puzzles. If you're new to this puzzle type, here is how they work: you are presented with a scenario, an empty grid, and a series of facts. You must use the information presented in the facts to work out connections and gradually solve the puzzle. The grid is used to record ticks and crosses to show what information is linked together, and also that which isn't. There are two key types of clues: those that tell you a connection between two details, and one that tells you that there is no connection. For instance, in the first puzzle in the book scenario tells you about five friends who all love sports. You must work out which sport they love, their occupation and their favourite snack. As you work your way through the facts you will need to ensure you derive as much information as you possibly can from them. For instance, if you know that A is linked to B, but also that B cannot be C, then you also know that A cannot be C. By carefully working through the deductions that can be made from the clues, you will be able to solve all the logic puzzles without guessing. And, of course, we've included all the solutions at the back of the book should you get stuck or need to check your answers. If you are new to logic puzzles, then we hope you will enjoy the puzzles and be able to solve them all successfully. If you are an experienced solver of this type of logical deduction puzzle, then the puzzles in this collection will probably be in the easy-medium difficulty range to solve. We hope you enjoy the puzzles and scenarios in this collection, good luck and happy solving!

This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of a unique collection that brings together the best English-language problems created for students competing in the Computational Linguistics Olympiad. These problems are representative of the diverse areas presented in the competition and designed with three principles in mind: · To challenge the student analytically, without requiring any explicit knowledge or experience in linguistics or computer science; · To expose the student to the different kinds of reasoning required when encountering a new phenomenon in a language, both as a theoretical topic and as an applied problem; · To foster the natural curiosity students have about the workings of their own language, as well as to introduce them to the beauty and structure of other languages; · To learn about the models and techniques used by computers to understand human language. Aside from being a fun intellectual challenge, the Olympiad mimics the skills used by researchers and scholars in the field of computational linguistics. In an increasingly global economy where businesses operate across borders and languages, having a strong pool of computational linguists is a competitive advantage, and an important component to both security and growth in the 21st century. This collection of problems is a wonderful general introduction to the field of linguistics through the analytic problem solving technique. "A fantastic collection of problems for anyone who is curious about how human language works! These books take serious scientific questions and present them in a fun, accessible way. Readers exercise their logical thinking capabilities while learning about a wide range of human languages, linguistic phenomena, and computational models. " - Kevin Knight, USC Information Sciences Institute

Book excerpt: Do you worry about your memory? Are you looking for a fun way to "exercise" your brain but are not sure how you can do it? Then you need to keep on reading... Tired about forgetting things? Feel like you are always stuck in the same "loop?" Looking for a new way to see your life? Fed up with the same old, boring stories you hear at dinners and get-togethers? If you are ready to expand your thinking and enjoy a good laugh, you have chosen the right puzzle book! Changing how you think about a problem and supporting your brain health does not need to be hard or boring. After reading the puzzles in this book, you will probably find that it is much more fun that you thought it would be! First described in the late 1960s, lateral thinking emerged as a way to approach a situation or a problem in a non-vertical, illogical way. It encourages the participants to think about the situation, not in the step-by-step process of traditional reason, but to look at all the different possibilities, even when they are absurd! Various studies have shown that challenging your reasoning skills in this manner can help you activate parts of your brain that are not often engaged. This extra engagement leads to a healthier state of mind, and even just encouraging you to laugh and smile a bit more. When a scenario is wildly different than the "norm," most people's natural reaction is to laugh or smile at it. Because every story and puzzle in this book offers a unique solution to the situation, you are sure to get some smiling done! Below are several of the highlights you will find inside this book: - Whimsical stories told with engaging situations and characters. - Absurd solutions that are plausible, but definitely unusual! - Silly math equations encouraging you to think outside the traditional, two-dimensional realm. - More than 20 puzzles outlining realistic situations with unbelievable answers. - A couple of one-liners that are great for pulling out at parties and special occasions-sure to generate a laugh. - A couple of morbid stories and scenarios that will make you laugh, but feel a little guilty about it. - Inspiration to begin thinking about your real life more laterally to find unique answers to your life problems, questions, or situations. And so much more! Prior to diving into the first puzzles in this book, stop to think about how you would solve the following question, "A man walks into a bar, the barkeep pulls a gun, the man says, "thank you," and leaves. What happened?" If you are stumped, confused, or unsure of where to start to answer this, then you are ready. If you think you have the answer, comb through the following puzzles to find out if you are right! Think about how fun it will be to not only know how to approach a puzzle like this, but be able to share them with others, too! Even if you are unsure about how to think more laterally, you can engage your brain and train it to see the unusual in the usual. You can find alternate meanings and outcomes to puzzles as you become a more creative thinker. If you are ready to laugh, cringe, smile, be confused, challenged, and smarter, then scroll up and place this book into your shopping cart now!
