 So says master puzzler Pierre Berloquin. In 365 Exercises for
the Mind, the author of such favorites as !OO Numerical
Games and |00 Perceptual Puzzles puts you through some
dizzying paces. Day after day, you will be challenged to find
satisfying solutions to puzzles that test your skill with:

These exercises in mental gymnastics come in varied forms, and

with varying degrees of difficulty. You may find yourself a cham-
pion with words, and an also-ran with numbers. Or a master logi-
cian, and a creative flop. Or you may be a champion in every
field.
Regardless of the outcome, the author assures, the purpose of
my these exercises is to give pleasure and enjoyment. Plus the
chance to participate in that most human of all efforts: problem-
solving—and without any dangerous consequences whatsoever!

quiz books. He lives in Paris.

 Introduction

To solve or not to solve: Do we have a choice, really?

Solving puzzles is the last and only redeeming activity
a lively mind can engage in. Other rewarding occu-
pations are gradually being taken over by machines
and computers. We are deprived of all obvious logical
business. Nothing is left to our restless minds but puz-
zling, puzzling, puzzling.
Today, puzzledom is our last proving ground. It
opens a path to a virtual jungle that needs no modem,
no cosmic network, no extravagantly electronic con-
struction—only a run-oHthe-mill piece of paper covered
with traditional, apparently understandable, lines and
signs. Yes, apparently understandable: this is where the
line is drawn between the calm waters of reading and
the perilous straits of the brain twister. In the quicksand
of mental booby traps, expect no sure step, doubt
every certainty—however tempting. Within the no-
holds-barred space of a puzzle, keep your back to the
wall... if you can find one.
Besides, puzzle trekking is a sure cure to all present
world anxieties, an evident preparation for any surprise
or shock of the future. Practice these exercises. Make
my personal motto yours as well:
A puzzle a day keeps the hassle away.

FAMILY REUNION

Here is a strange type of family reunion. The

Brown family has decided that instead of
reuniting as many members of the family as
possible, they would try to represent as many
family relations with as few people as they
could. Therefore, when the time for the
reunion comes around, few of them are
present but there are nonetheless a father, a
mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister,
a nephew, a niece, an aunt, an uncle, and a
cousin of either Sex.

All of them have a common ancestor, and

there are no consanguineous marriages.

The number of people present is the exact

minimum needed in order to represent those
relations.

NAMING

Five friends—Edwara, Francis, George, Harry,

and |saac—built their houses around a small
beach on the Atlantic Ocean. They agreed
that each of them would name his house for
one of the others’ daughters, whose names
are Elisa, Florence, Gabby, Helen, and Isabella.

To avoid giving the same name to two differ-

ent houses, they decided to meet and
choose together:

George and Francis, who both wanted to

call their house Helen, drew lots. Francis
won. George named his house Eliga.
Edward settled on Florence.

Isabella’s father was absent, but Isaac

phoned him to tell him to name his
house Gabby.
Florence’s father called his house
Isabella.

For each man, identify his daughter's name
