I'll have to check out this guy's writings. I grew up on Martin Gardner, who must have been a kindred spirit to Smullyan. I read some of Gardner's books and also his columns in Scientific American, and learned, among other things, to look beyond the obvious to get the whole picture of situations before drawing hasty conclusions. Gardner also lived to advanced old age (95). Maybe mathematics and logic are even better for us than we already think!
