"This book, translated from the Dutch original, presents eleven problems of this kind, and develops the theory of dynamic epistemic logic to show how they can be solved. The puzzles, and book, are fun. ... this is an illuminating and entertaining account of these puzzles (and tells us something of their history). If you enjoyed Cheryl's birthday puzzle, you will like this book." (Tony Mann, London Mathematical Society Newsletter (LMS), newsletter.lms.ac.uk, Issue 463, November, 2016) "This book can be perfectly well used as a textbook for graduate students who have an interest in (dynamic) epistemic logic. At the same time, it is accessible to anyone ... fascinated by this type of puzzle. For them it will be a nice way to enter the curious world of formal logic and see an amusing and entertaining puzzle transformed into a logical and significant problem about knowledge and its peculiarities." (Jean Paul Van Bendegem, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2016)
