NOTES

Title from title frames

Return to the Island of Knights and Knaves to consider puzzles where asking the right questions is the point of the problem. Work your way up to the famous "heaven or hell" puzzle. Then close with an exercise in coercive logic, devised by noted mathematician and puzzle master Raymond Smullyan. Easy riches hinge on a very simple bargain that sounds too good to be true. Do you accept?
