THINK TWICE (SIMPLE PUZZLES ALMOST EVERYONE GETS WRONG) (PB)

Guardian puzzle master Alex Bellos knows there are puzzles whose answers seem blindingly simple, yet consistently wrong-foot us. Scoured from psychology, maths, statistics, physics, geography and the study of perception, here are 70 puzzles almost guaranteed to catch you out. But why are you getting them wrong? And how can you get them right? In Think Twice, Alex delights in tripping us up and then returning us to our feet, explaining how these puzzles work, the biases holding us back – and how to train your brain to avoid being hoodwinked again.
