Book cover People, Problems, and Proofs

Abstract

Smullyan is one of the great popular expositors of logic, as well as author of several books on puzzles and games. The probability version of Cantor’s proof is re-cast following Smullyan’s angle as a two-player game, further challenging readers who doubt the correctness of Cantor’s argument.
