The Talk
Modern medicine is insisting that we should keep our mind
active. How? Learning new procedures, languages, musical instruments. Setting
complex tasks to our brain.
In this talk, Akram will present 33
puzzles of varying difficulty.
You will be given the chance to
solve the puzzle during a time specified for each. You can then score yourself
at the end.
The puzzles will be based on common sense and logic
but not on math, knowledge or science. Join us and bring your friends.
A graduate of AUB in Physics and Mathematics (1966). By 1969, he completed a degree in Electronic Engineering in University of Hertfordshire, UK. His professional life was spent in Information Technology and organizational management. He spent a lot of time on reengineering business and public sector processes.
When in high school, a teacher (to be blessed), introduced
Akram to Martin Gardner's column in Scientific American which
opened up a vast world of puzzles and beautiful mathematical topics.
Since then, Akram has been collecting puzzles of all types.
Around 10 years ago, he published 3 collections of puzzles (www.thehiddenpaw.com) which he used in
an earlier talk in Karaz w Laimoon. Another book on that site is one containing
20 logical card tricks that can amaze people (without deception, sleight of
hand or loaded decks).
