Abstract
Puzzles are an odd form of literature For the most part puzzlewriters—even the best of them—simply aren’t concerned with narrative plot character development or even simple plausibility Take for example the “island of truthtellers and liars” found in so many logic puzzles what kind of a place would really and truly be populated with exclusive truthtellers and liars anyhow Could such people exist Even my best friends aren’t exclusive truthtellers and even my least favorite political figures aren’t exclusive liars And squeezed together on an island no less—wouldn’t that lead to civil war Or the farmer crossing the river—what’s the man doing walking around with both a fox and a goose Maybe he should just invest in a muzzle for the fox
