What if the things that seem perfectly logical are actually impossible to explain? Explore some of the strangest logical paradoxes, puzzles, and contradictions ever discovered, from the Crocodile's Promise and the Liar Paradox to the Tortoise and Achilles, the Three Boxes of Coins, and the Missing Dollar. Discover how probability, mathematics, language, economics, and everyday reasoning can lead us into situations that challenge everything we think we know. Why do two losing games sometimes produce a winner, why do buses always seem late, and how can a statement contradict itself simply by being true? Prepare to question your instincts, challenge your assumptions, and discover just how strange logic can become. If reason can lead us into contradictions, how much can we really trust what seems obvious?
