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.
