In Perilous Problems for Puzzle Lovers, Alex Bellos collects 125 of the world's stumpers - many dangerous to your person, and all dangerous to your pride. Brace yourself to wrestle with wordplay, grapple with geometry, and scramble for survival. . . .
Bellos pairs his fiendish brainteasers with fascinating history, so you'll meet Alcuin, Sam Loyd, and other puzzle masters of yore - in between deranged despots and wily jailers with an unaccountable taste for riddles. Will you make it out alive? And what about the sheep?
