But whether they thrill you with your own cleverness, or amaze, provoke, and perplex you - these puzzles, paradoxes, and intellectual snakepits will be sheer delight. The supremely witty and perverse Dr. Crypton has gained an enormous following for his monthly column in Science Digest, tormenting readers with puzzlers on a universe of topics - from common sense, theology, language, and logic to science, sex, and murder! Now it's your turn to take on the good doctor with one of the most ingenious, enjoyable, and exhilarating puzzle books you've ever read! Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Matt Freedman (illustrator).
