Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by such illustrious compilations as the Canterbury Puzzles, Moscow Puzzles, and Tokyo Puzzles, Colombian mathematician and professor Bernardo Recamán Santos assembled these 80 brainteasers, which he acquired while living and working in Bogotá. Santos's colleagues, students, friends, and acquaintances contributed to this stimulating collection, a potpourri of word problems, puzzles involving chess pieces, sudoku-style challenges, and other math-based diversions. Includes complete solutions.
