CONTENTS
*******************************************************************************
Synopsis:
This is the third and final collection of puzzle columns that I
contributed to Isaac Asimov' s Science Fiction Magazine over a period of
about ten years. The format follows that of two previous anthologies:
Science Fiction Puzzle Tales (1981) and Puzzles from Other Worlds (1984).
Each chapter poses a problem answered in the First Answers section.
The solution in tum raises another problem that is solved in the Second
Answers section. This may suggest a third question, and in several
instances there is a fourth. Material has been added based on letters from
readers of Asimov's magazine, material from my files, and suggestions from
others listed below.
