Modern Puzzles by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $115$
Martin Gardner points out that Dudeney, in Problem $150$ in his Amusements in Mathematics, catches Sam Loyd out in exactly such a blunder.
He does this in 536 Puzzles & Curious Problems, his $1968$ repackaging of Dudeney's Modern Puzzles and Puzzles and Curious Problems.
