RIP Raymond Smullyan

Mathematician. Logician. Author of many delightful puzzle books (What Is The Name of this Book; This Book Needs No Title, etc) that illustrated principles of symbolic logic, set theory, combinatorics, and more. Two (?) volumes of retrograde chess puzzles. Humorous philosophical essays.

Had a lasting impact on me. I wish I had met him. He was 97.
