Book Description
Welcome to this fantastic collection of 50 brand-new logic puzzles. If you're new to this puzzle type, here is how they work: you are presented with a scenario, an empty grid, and a series of facts. You must use the information presented in the facts to work out connections and gradually solve the puzzle. The grid is used to record ticks and crosses to show what information is linked together, and also that which isn't. There are two key types of clues: those that tell you a connection between two details, and one that tells you that there is no connection. For instance, in the first puzzle in the book scenario tells you about five friends who all love sports. You must work out which sport they love, their occupation and their favourite snack. As you work your way through the facts you will need to ensure you derive as much information as you possibly can from them. For instance, if you know that A is linked to B, but also that B cannot be C, then you also know that A cannot be C. By carefully working through the deductions that can be made from the clues, you will be able to solve all the logic puzzles without guessing. And, of course, we've included all the solutions at the back of the book should you get stuck or need to check your answers. If you are new to logic puzzles, then we hope you will enjoy the puzzles and be able to solve them all successfully. If you are an experienced solver of this type of logical deduction puzzle, then the puzzles in this collection will probably be in the easy-medium difficulty range to solve. We hope you enjoy the puzzles and scenarios in this collection, good luck and happy solving!

Pages : 208
Book Description
This is the second volume of a unique collection that brings together the best English-language problems created for students competing in the Computational Linguistics Olympiad. These problems are representative of the diverse areas presented in the competition and designed with three principles in mind: · To challenge the student analytically, without requiring any explicit knowledge or experience in linguistics or computer science; · To expose the student to the different kinds of reasoning required when encountering a new phenomenon in a language, both as a theoretical topic and as an applied problem; · To foster the natural curiosity students have about the workings of their own language, as well as to introduce them to the beauty and structure of other languages; · To learn about the models and techniques used by computers to understand human language. Aside from being a fun intellectual challenge, the Olympiad mimics the skills used by researchers and scholars in the field of computational linguistics. In an increasingly global economy where businesses operate across borders and languages, having a strong pool of computational linguists is a competitive advantage, and an important component to both security and growth in the 21st century. This collection of problems is a wonderful general introduction to the field of linguistics through the analytic problem solving technique. "A fantastic collection of problems for anyone who is curious about how human language works! These books take serious scientific questions and present them in a fun, accessible way. Readers exercise their logical thinking capabilities while learning about a wide range of human languages, linguistic phenomena, and computational models.
