SYNOPSIS ....

Problems and puzzles, some previously published in The Listener.

Three people each had a cup of coffee, and each sweetened their drink by adding sugar lumps from a bowl containing 12 lumps. They used up all 12 sugar lumps, and each of the three people had an odd number of lumps in their coffee. How many sugar lumps did each person take? Can you find an answer to the tricky problem of the Three Sweet Coffees? Or work out the scores in the Beach Beauty contest at Episcenesville, open to both males and females? Or fill up a crossword with words which may need to be reversed before you write them in? You will find these and many more intriguing problems and puzzles in this absorbing book. The name Wilkins is familiar to readers of the New Zealand Listener as the contributor of the regular Diversions column in that magazine - a weekly offering of puzzles, games and competitions for readers. 

Diversions - Exercises for Mental Athletes is a selection of original and entertaining problems in the distinctive Wilkins style.

Very  Interesting read!

Marvellous Reading!
