"The Magic Garden of George B. And Other Logic Puzzles"

Series "Contemporary Logic"- edited by Walter Carnielli
Polimetrica Publisher, Monza, Italy, 2007

176 pages, ISBN 978-88-7699-066-3

"After a series of light logic puzzles, the author presents a
bombshell puzzle so startling that it seems incredible that there
could be any solution at all! But there is indeed a solution -
moreover, one that requires a chain of lesser puzzles to be
solved first. The reader is thus journeyed through a maze of
subsidiary problems that has all the earmarks of an entertaining
detective story. Of the author's 20 published books, this is the
11th whose purpose is to lead the unwary reader into deep logical
waters through seductively entertaining logic puzzles. The "deep
waters" of this book is boolean algebra with such weird looking
equations as 1+1=0 - a subject which today plays a vital role,
not only in mathematical systems, but also in computer science
and artificial intelligence."
