5.0 out of 5 stars
Great fun for the brain!,

This review is from: Baker Street Puzzles (Paperback)
A wonderful little book of thoughtful puzzles. I work them with my granddaughter (3rh grader) and we have great fun solving a few of them each evening. Solutions require math, deduction, use of diagrams and thoughtful analysis. I'd highly recommend this, especially for someone who wants to share the fun of puzzles with a bright, inquiring youngster.

A Big Disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Baker Street Puzzles (Paperback)
As a devotee of "British-style" crosswords, I found this title when I entered "cryptic crosswords" as my keywords. As a reader and writer of mystery fiction, I was intrigued by the Sherlock Holmes connection implied in the title. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I discovered nothing cryptic or crossword about this collection, but merely a set of formulaic "brain-teasers" with a Holmes-Watson gimmick! (You know the sort of thing: John is two years older than Mary, but when she reaches his age, she'll be twice as old as Herbert and half as old as Oscar; how old are they?) Solving such problems are the only use I make of high school algebra, these days, but there was a reason I chose to major in English! Someone who enjoys this sort of problem would give this collection a higher score than I did, but would find it no substitute for the Mensa or even GAMES magazine ones.
