About the Author

Mark Zegarelli is a professional writer with degrees in both English and Math

from Rutgers University. He has earned his living for many years writing vast

quantities of logic puzzles, a hefty chunk of software documentation, and the

occasional book or film review. Along the way, he’s also paid a few bills doing

housecleaning, decorative painting, and (for ten hours) retail sales. He likes

writing best, though.

Mark lives mostly in Long Branch, New Jersey, and sporadically in San

Francisco, California.

Dedication

This is for Mark Dembrowski, with love for his unfailing support, encourage-

ment, and wisdom.

Author’s Acknowledgments

Writers don’t write, they rewrite — and rewriting sure is easier with a team

of first-rate editors to help. Many thanks to Kathy Cox, Mike Baker, Darren

Meiss, Elizabeth Rea, and Jessica Smith of Wiley Publications for their eagle-

eyed guidance. You made this book possible.

I would like to thank Professor Kenneth Wolfe of St. John’s University, Professor

Darko Sarenac of Stanford University, and Professor David Nacin of William

Paterson University for their invaluable technical reviewing, and to Professor

Edward Haertel of Stanford University for his encouragement and assistance.

You made this book better.

Thanks also for motivational support to Tami Zegarelli, Michael Konopko,

David Feaster, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, the folks at Sunset Landing in

Asbury Park, and Dolores Park Care in San Francisco, and the QBs. You made

this book joyful.
