Puzzles
 | A Wikibookian has nominated this book for cleanup because: Needs more structure, needs to be expanded. Puzzles should be explained and discussed, not just listed. You can help make it better. Please review any relevant discussion. |
Foreword
There are many books on the market nowadays that have been written about puzzles; however, most of these books only deal with the narrow scope of the specific puzzle at hand.
It is the intention of the contributors of this Wikibook to give the readers some tidbits, history, and examples related to the puzzles mentioned. Of course, there are also some puzzles that provide entertainment or interactive questions for readers themselves at the end of the page. If you get stuck after trying, it wouldn't hurt to see the puzzle's solution! After all, puzzles are supposed to be fun.
With all that said, please enjoy this puzzle collection, avoid any frustration, and fight boredom.
