Hello all,
For some time, I've been working on puzzles from books by Raymond Smullyan (The Lady Or The Tiger, To Mock a Mockingbird, What Is The Name Of This Book?).
I found that a lot of these puzzles suddenly become fairly easy when you use logical notations and calculational proofs. (I later found out that others had the same experience; see
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/gries/Logic/Neatsolution.html). This post is just to share a little of that experience, by giving one example.
