The Jug with Diamonds: Twelve Oriental Tales and Twelve
Puzzles |

This is my first puzzle book published by Logica Ent. in
1991. Language: Russian. The book contains detailed b/w
drawings, complete solutions, and brief English
descriptions for the puzzles.
It is a tiny, 32-page puzzle book describing twelve
different puzzles, but since it was published, many of
its puzzles were many times republished in different
magazines, books and newspapers, and were manufactured
by different companies and individual puzzle makers. |
