This book draws on the many excellent presentations at the meeting, G4G5, held in Atlanta on April 5–7, 2004. It commemorates the memory of two great puzzlers, Edward Hordern, a master puzzle solver and a great puzzle collector, and Nobuyuki Yoshigahara, a master puzzle designer.
The tradition of a publication based on the Gathering for Gardner continues with this new carefully selected and edited collection in which Martin Gardner and friends inspire and entertain. The contributors to this volume---virtually a list of Who''s Who in the World of Puzzles---trace their inspiration to Martin Gardner''s puzzle column in Scientific American and to his contributions to the world of recreational mathematics. Tribute to a Mathemagician contains an author index for the two previous books in the collection of books based on the Gatherings for Gardner. Sample puzzles and games include: - Tripos - Black Jack - Chinese ceramic puzzle vessels - Paper folding - Mongolian interlocking puzzles - Rolling block puzzles - Sliding puzzles - Cryptic crosswords - The Panex puzzle - Polyonimo puzzles - and more
