5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart, March 31, 2008

This review is from: BRAIN PUZZLER'S DELIGHT (Hardcover)

This book really makes you think. This particular copy was my Dad's when he was in college, but he let me have it when I got older. I absolutely love it! There are all sorts of logic problems in the book, and even the 'easy' ones will sometimes have you scratching your head.

My favorite section is the cross-number puzzles. Some examples of clues: 'The sum of the digits is the square of a perfect square' or 'First three digits of 4 down rearranged'.

Other types of puzzles include determining the ages or street numbers of a group of people based on certain facts (often with conditions such as 'when speaking to someone older than themselves everything they said was true, but when speaking to someone younger everything they said was false'), finding the order of a group of people on tests, finding the the scores of football (soccer) games, and solving long division problems when all the numbers have been replaced by dashes (another one of my personal favorites!).

A great book for those who like logic puzzles! Many word puzzles of various formats that provide progressively more complicated and difficult challenges. Also has the answers at the end and a bit of how to for those struggling with the with the solution(s).
