Summary: Nice Concept; Doesn't Pan Out
Comment: An interesting little collection of stories and puzzles, alleged to be told by the travelling companion of the Man Who Counted, one Beremiz Samir. Many of the puzzles have been set in other circumstances, other fables. The interest here, such as it is, is the weaving together of the whole tale in the city of Baghdad in the thirteenth century. The trappings of Islam are heavy, not always necessary, and occasionally a positive intrusion. Samir seems to go through life ~ at least that part of it reported to us ~ moving from one mathematical challenge to another, and triumphing over all. One sympathises with the posers of the puzzles; it would be a pleasure at times to see him tripped. If one can fight through the extraneous material of the tale, the Islamic tapestries which cover all, the mathematical puzzles themselves are interesting. It's quite a job, though, to dig them out.
