Steven Landsburg, acclaimed author and professor of economics, dares you to try. If you solve the puzzles in this book--or even if you just read the solutions--you'll learn a lot about economics, how to interpret statistics, and maybe a bit about law, math, science, and philosophy along the way. Wildly imaginative and entirely unconventional, this book includes warm-up exercises to get your brain working, logic and probability problems, and other teasers that touch upon such complex topics as calculating probabilities, reasoning in reverse, and distinguishing right from wrong. You don't have to have an advanced degree to master the material. Above all, this book is meant for readers to learn and have fun.
