LOGIC PROBLEMS FOR MONEY MINDS: 42 CONUNDRUMS, PROBLEMS AND RIDDLES TO TEST YOUR BRAIN

Book ID/图书代码： 05930010B37000

English Summary/英文概要： The 42 conundrums, problems and riddles in this book have been collected by the editors over many years, from many sources. The tests are designed to be fun, as well as instructive. In taking them, you will learn a lot about logical reasoning, but even more about yourself. The best part is - having tested your own mental agility, you will have an arsenal of 42 tricks to inflict on friends and colleagues. From the Introduction: "Warren Buffett, the world’s most successful investor, posed the following question to shareholders in one of his Berkshire Hathaway annual reports: ’How many legs does a dog have if you call its tail a leg?’ If you said 5, go to the back of the class. The answer is 4. ’Just because you call its tail a leg," says Buffett, ’doesn’t mean it is a leg.’ He used the riddle as an allegory for accounting shenanigans. When a company says it has made "GBP50 million profit", its claim should be regarded critically. Accounting rules may allow a finance director to declare X as profit, but that doesn’t mean X is profit. As the saying goes, ’Profit is a matter of opinion. Cash is a matter of fact’. The conundrums, tests and tricks in this book are in the same spirit as Buffett’s dog riddle. They are meant to entertain and educate. Some are straight numeracy tests, some are word plays, some are logic traps, and some require lateral thinking. A few of them are easy. Most demand some mental exertion. One was devised by Einstein." The example question: You have ten stacks of ten coins. One stack contains coins that weigh 1.1 grams each. The other nine stacks contain coins that weigh 1.0 grams each. The coins all look the same. You also have a set of weighing scales. Using the scales once only, locate the stack with the 1.1 gram coins.

訓練腦力不需要太困難的方法，在本書中，作者用各種故事來加強大腦的思考能力，而本書的邏輯遊戲則可以增強你思維的細膩度，讓你輕鬆的訓練你的大腦，並從中學習更多解題的邏輯概念。
例如：巴菲特提供給投資人在思索投資原則時，一定要謹記一段故事：「如果一隻狗連尾巴也算在內的話，總共有幾條腿﹖ 答案還是四條腿，因為不論你是不是把尾巴當作是一條腿，尾巴永遠還是尾巴！」，這句話提醒投資人就算理財師願意幫你證明尾巴也算是一條腿，你也不會因此多了一條腿。
在這本書中，還有許多邏輯概念可以從中學習，就像體育鍛煉可以增強人的身體素質一樣，勤於用腦可以使大腦越來越發達，思維能力越來越強。(CL)
