You'll come across logic in mathematics and in philosophy, and it goes all the way back to Aristotle, branching into a number of fields including informal logic, formal logic, symbolic logic and mathematical logic.Â
But logic puzzles use a part of mathematics involving deduction, and author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under his pen name and author of Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll, created logic puzzles in his book, The Game of Logic.Â
Mathematician Raymond Smullyan created some famous logic problems in his books To Mock a Mockingbird and The Lady or the Tiger. He had a series of puzzles dealing with "knights and knaves", where knights always tell the truth and knaves always lie. You'll see variations of these logic problems in this quiz.
