Brush Up Your Wits [antikvár]

FOREWORDMy acknowledgments are due to Messrs. T. De La Rue & Co. for permission to reproduce a number of problems from Caliban's Problem Book, and to the Nonesuch Press for permission to reproduce from The Week-end Problems Book my two problems, 'Neverland' and 'Six Authors in Search of a Character.' Acknowledgments are also due to Mr. S. T. Shovelton, composer of the problems 'The Seven Cuckoos,' 'The Boating Picnic,' 'A Case of Kinship,' and 'Alice's Party'; to Group Captain Struan Marshall ('Cars and Crafts'); Mr. A. G. Stripp ('His Master's Age'); and Mr. S. S. Lamert ('Gin and Bitters'). And to my sister, Miss Margaret Phillips, for a number of constructive criticisms.A few of the simpler problems are variants of well-known Intelligence Tests, which have been in circulation for some time. The remaining problems (about ninety) are original. Most of them have already been published in the New Statesman, the News Chronicle, the Puzzler, and the Sphinx at Play.H. P.
