History of a Logic Puzzle
The logic puzzle was first made by Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Lewis used logic puzzle statements in his book, for example, "Some greyhounds are not fat", from the statement, "No fat creatures run well", and, "Some greyhounds run well". In puzzles like that you are given a list of premises and asked what conclusion can be drawn from them, these are called syllogisms. Lewis also went on to make a more complex puzzle consisting up to 8 premises.
In the second half of the 20th century Raymond M. Smullyan, a mathematician continued to expand logic puzzles. He wrote books such as The lady or the tiger?, To Mock a Mockingbird, and Alice in Puzzle-Land. Raymond also made the "Knights and Knaves" puzzles popular.
There are also Logic Puzzles that are completely non-verbal. These include Sudoku, Paint by Numbers, and Logic mazes.
