Book excerpt: Welcome to this fantastic collection of 100 brand new simple loop puzzles, also known as Fences. If you like other loop-making puzzles such as slitherlink, masyu or yajilin, why not give simple loop a try?The rules of the puzzle are simple: draw a single, continuous loop that visits every square in the puzzle grid just once. The loop cannot cross itself. This book contains simple loop / fences puzzles at three different grid sizes: 6 x 6, 8 x 8 and 10 x 10. The larger puzzles take a little longer to solve and prove more of a solving challenge, but the rules are the same. There are various tips and tricks that will help you solve these puzzles. Remember that the loop must enter and exit each square, so look for instances where there are only two neighbouring squares that can be visited by an empty square: the loop going through that square can be marked in directly. Also remember that the loop cannot close itself until it passes through every square in the grid, so if taking the loop in a certain direction would cause part of the loop to join itself prematurely or equally would isolate part of the loop then it cannot go in that direction.Good luck with the puzzles, and remember that they each have a single solution for you to discover.

Book excerpt: Over a period of 25 years as author of the Mathematical Games column for Scientific American, Martin Gardner devoted a column every six months or so to short math problems or puzzles. He was especially careful to present new and unfamiliar puzzles that had not been included in such classic collections as those by Sam Loyd and Henry Dudeney. Later, these puzzles were published in book collections, incorporating reader feedback on alternate solutions or interesting generalizations. The present volume contains a rich selection of 70 of the best of these brain teasers, in some cases including references to new developments related to the puzzle. Now enthusiasts can challenge their solving skills and rattle their egos with such stimulating mind-benders as The Returning Explorer, The Mutilated Chessboard, Scrambled Box Tops, The Fork in the Road, Bronx vs. Brooklyn, Touching Cigarettes, and 64 other problems involving logic and basic math. Solutions are included.
