Martin provides fascinating discussions of each problem or puzzle, and appends suggestions for further reading. Where the puzzle or problem admits of a right answer, Martin provides it in a separate section. But he also often ends with a question; as this book richly and entertainingly demonstrates, philosophy is as much the search for the right questions as it is for the right answers. There are many new entries in this edition, including 'God as the Tortoise on the Bottom,' 'Free Beer,' 'How to Win a Camel AntiRace,' 'Watch out for Extreme Politeness,' and 'The Enormous TiddlyWink Tournament.'
