Riddles of the Sphinx
This material was drawn from Gardner's column in Issac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. His riddles presented here incorporate the responses of his initial readers, along with additions suggested by the editors of this series. In this book, Gardner draws us from questions to answers, always presenting us with new riddles-some as yet unanswered. Solving these riddles is not simply a matter of logic and calculation, though these play a role. Luck and inspiration are factors as well, so beginners and experts alike may profitably exercise their wits on Gardner's problems, whose subjects range from geometry to word play to questions relating to physics and geology. We guarantee that you will solve some of these riddles, be stumped by others and be amused by almost all of the stories and setting that Gardner has devised to raise these as yet unanswered. Only Gardner could fit so many diverse and tantalizing problems into one book.

ELIZABETH TALLENT (1954– )
Though her first published book was a critical work titled Married Men and Magic Tricks: John Updike’s Erotic Heroes (1982), Elizabeth Tallent is best known as a writer of short stories. She has published three collections of stories to date: In Constant Flight (1983), Time with Children (1987), and Honey (1993). The prose of all three collections can be broadly characterized as elegant, sensuous, devout in capturing the moment, the gesture, the high-wire tension of human exchanges. Tallent’s ability to describe emotional complexity is almost scientifically careful and, arrestingly, both clinical and insinuatingly initimate at the same time.
