His riddles presented here incorporate the responses of his initial readers, along with additions suggested by the editors of this series. In this book, Gardner draws us from questions to answers, always presenting us with new riddles-some as yet unanswered. Solving these riddles is not simply a matter of logic and calculation, though these play a role. Luck and inspiration are factors as well, so beginners and experts alike may profitably exercise their wits on Gardner's problems, whose subjects range from geometry to word play to questions relating to physics and geology. We guarantee that you will solve some of these riddles, be stumped by others and be amused by almost all of the stories and setting that Gardner has devised to raise these as yet unanswered. Only Gardner could fit so many diverse and tantalizing problems into one book. 410 0$aAnneli Lax New Mathematical Library 606 $aMathematical recreations 606 $aPuzzles 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematical recreations. 615 0$aPuzzles. 676 $a793.7 700 $aGardner$b Martin$f1914-2010.$028072 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465732203321 996 $aRiddles of the sphinx and other mathematical puzzle tales$92130540 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05529nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910140612803321 005 20170815113041.0 010 $a1-282-49192-X 010 $a9786612491924 010 $a0-470-68833-5 010 $a0-470-68832-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000013697 035 $a(EBL)496048 035 $a(OCoLC)609858694 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000361528 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11242438 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000361528 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10351373 035 $a(PQKB)10536335 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC496048 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000013697 100 $a20100104d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aImproving survey response$b[electronic resource] $elessons learned from the European Social Survey /$fIneke Stoop ...

Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias. In this book the authors argue that high response rates should not be seen as a goal in themselves, but rather as part of an overall survey quality strategy based on random probability sampling and aim 410 0$aWiley series in survey methodology. 606 $aSocial surveys$xResponse rate 606 $aSocial surveys$xResponse rate$zEurope 606 $aPublic opinion polls 606 $aPublic opinion$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial surveys$xResponse rate. 615 0$aSocial surveys$xResponse rate 615 0$aPublic opinion polls. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a001.4 676 $a301.072/3 701 $aStoop$b Ineke A.
