ABSTRACT
I should like to thank the fictive Professor Highly Dull for his invaluable comments
on the last paragraph of Problem 30, and my dog, Blackie, for patiently typing the
whole manuscript four times. Any mistakes are Professor Dull’s, and not mine. Or
possibly Blackie’s. And then there’s Mrs Martin Cohen, for making the tea as well
as for never losing faith that there really were only 101 problems. [Try to make it a
bit more personal – Ed.]
Thanks also to Lil’ Sis, Big Sis, an’ Middle Sis. And Ma, yes, an’ Pa too. And thanks
to ‘Moggy’ Mike Morris, ‘Chocolates’ Terry Diffey and, most importantly, ‘Gorgeous
George’ MacDonald Ross, collectively the philosophers, like, of cool. And thanks to
Adrian Driscoll and Tony Bruce at our esteemed publishing house, and those crazy
refs wot looked at my book while it was just a baby. They were pretty hot, especially
on that (waddyoucallit) logic stuff. Since the second edition I am pleased to ‘tighten
up’ (as logicians might say) a bit on some of those problems involving
mathematical concepts; in particular I should like to thank Moritz Becker, a very
precise, but helpful, sort of German philosopher and Michael Repton.
