Mind-Bending Puzzles (Calendar)

Omni magazine described Cliff Pickover as "Van Leeuwenhoek's twentieth-century equivalent." Wired weighs in: "Bucky Fuller thought big. Arthur C. Clarke thinks big. But Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." The Journal of Recreational Mathematics calls Pickover "one of the most creative, original thinkers in the world." Pickover devises logic mazes, cryptograms, seriative and mathematical teasers, wild anagrams and other word games that are both pleasurable, and rigorous, as well as funny. This calendar presents 314 brain-buckling puzzles (Saturday and Sunday share a page and a puzzle.) Pickover is the author of the remarkable book Cryptorunes (Pomegranate, 2000).
