What are the odds of tossing heads four times in succession? How many ways can five band members arrange themselves for a group photo? These are among the 26 puzzles in this book that involve combinations, predictions, luck and chance. Logical thinking is more important than math in solving the brainteasers, although the proofs usually involve mathematical explanations. The cover is a game board in which nine octagons must be rotated to positions to make the colors on all adjacent sides match. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.Reviewed by Ruth B. Roufberg, Parents' Choice® 2000 -- From Parents' Choice®

内容简介

Introducing Mind Games, a series of conceptual puzzle and activity books for kids eight and up-and we mean up-who enjoy the challenge of solving problems and the pleasure of figuring out new ways of seeing things. Created by Ivan Moscovich, a world-renowned inventor of games, puzzles, and toys, each book comes with a three-dimensional, interactive puzzle on the cover, and dozens of full-color illustrated problems on the same theme inside. Probability Games dwells in the realm of prediction, luck, random chance, and chaos theory, Bell curves and Pascal s triangle. For example, match up-color by color-the octagons on the cover. But be careful where you start-begin at the upper left corner and your odds of success are 1 in 30,000. Begin in the middle and your odds are 1 in 64. Also in the Mind Games series: Number Games The most important skills needed to solve these puzzles are curiosity and an open mind. (Solutions and explanations are provided, of course!)
