To the memory of Martin Gardner (19142010), whose influence on this books subject matter is considerable.

A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has ten bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has twelve coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners hats but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesnt know that a pirate doesnt know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N + 1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what color his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?

All were staring dumbly at the stupidest, most addictive TV show ever. It is Googles live search board, the ever-scrolling list of the search terms people are Googling at this very instant. Watching the board is like picking the lock to the worlds diary, then wishing you hadnt. For one moment, the private desires and anxieties of someone in New Orleans or Hyderabad or Edinburgh are broadcast to a select audience of voyeurs in Google lobbiesmost of them twenty- and thirty-year-olds awaiting a job interview.

a year. It was estimated that only about 1 in 130 applications resulted in a job. By comparison, about 1 in 14 high school students applying to Harvard gets accepted. As at Harvard, Google employees must pass some tall hurdles.

Jims first interviewer was late and sweaty: he had biked to work. He started with some polite questions about Jims work history. Jim eagerly explained his short career. The interviewer didnt look at him. He was tapping away at his laptop, taking notes.

The next question Im going to ask, he said, is a little unusual.

The interviewer had looked up from his laptop and was grinning like a maniac with a new toy.

I would take the change in my pocket and throw it into the blender motor to jam it, Jim said.
