Have fun while you expand your powers of deductive reasoning! Every one of these puzzles calls for conclusions based only on the information provided; the answers don't depend on previous knowledge, memory, wordplay, or deception--just a logical mind. Accept the alternatives that lead to the correct response and discard all faulty assumptions until you've arrived at the only possibility that makes sense. There are eight kinds of puzzle, and in most cases diagrams help organize your results. Here's one example: A supermarket theft has occurred. Someone took a fully loaded cart without paying for the groceries. One of the three suspects is guilty--but which one? The guilty party's statement is true; the other two are false. Who is guilty? A. B took the cart loaded with groceries B. A's statement is true C. A's statement is false Answer: C is the guilty party.

Welcome to the backwards, wrong-way, mixed-up Kingdom of Lidd. It's the magical home of false logic puzzles, and you have to solve them!

Challenging False Logic Puzzles

Your brain will go into a tizzy solving these twisted, perplexing logic puzzles! But untangling them will challenge your mind, expand your knowledge, and develop your powers of deduction and reasoning. Success begins with a process of trial and error: examine the propositions, and logically test one against the other. Some will cancel each other out. Others point to additional information that helps you arrive at the correct answer. Give the six sections a shot: each one contains a different type of puzzle, starts with the simplest, and becomes increasingly intricate. Here's just a sample of what you'll find! By looking at the five statements, figure out in which subject Prince Tal excelled, and in which he did especially well: 1. If he excelled in chivalry, he did especially well in horsemanship. 2. If he excelled in horsemanship, he did especially well in fencing. 3. If he did especially well in horsemanship, he excelled in fencing. 4. If he excelled in fencing, he did especially well in chivalry. 5. If he did especially well in chivalry, he excelled in horsemanship. The answer is number two. Can you figure out why? 96 pages, 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.
