Editorial Reviews:
|
A collection of puzzles and brainteasers ranging from tricky but solvable, to excruciatingly difficult. Every problem comes with a clue or two; most are illustrated; all have answers and many include background as to how and where they originated. This book should show you how much you have forgotten since school, animate dinner parties, infuriate friends and generally bring health, wealth and a feeling of well-being to all who possess it.

Customer Rating:
Summary: The Chicken from Minsk really gives your brain a workout...
Comment: As a survivor of the course based on this book and taught by Yuri himself at MIT, I must say that The Chicken from Minsk was a true challenge. The great thing about it is that it builds critical thinking skills while making even the nastiest math and physics (shall I dare say?) fun!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ever so much fun for the curious of all ages...
Comment: The former Soviet Union had a much more mathematically
rigerous tradition in physics than did the rest of the
world. These problems are word problems, and they will
make you sweat. Ideal for the curious of all ages, but
especially for teens, to keep their curiosity alive. I
think highly of this book-gave 7 copies away this holliday
season.
