5.0 out of 5 stars Good puzzle size and difficulty, December 29, 2006

Noah (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mensa Kakuro (Paperback)

I started out doing Kakuro as "Cross-sums" in the Dell Math and Logic Puzzle Magazines, and they quickly became my favorite puzzles. When I went to find a book of just Kakuro puzzles, though, I found that most of the puzzles were far smaller than anything I was accustomed to. Considering that I can do one of the larger ones in about fifteen minutes, I couldn't imagine the smaller puzzles being very engrossing. This book has resepectably large puzzles to solve, though, and a good number of them. They're not so easy I don't have to really ponder them occasionally, but they're not so difficult that I find myself forced to work by trial-and-error, either. Really excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as hard as it looks, November 5, 2006

LJ (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Mensa Kakuro (Paperback)

This book is put out by the producers of the Belt series books (White, Green, Brown, and Black), with the same 12 x 21 grid. The puzzles are challenging without being too difficult. If you liked the Belt series books, you'll like this one as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Cross-Sums compilation for pros, January 6, 2007

BillyDKid (GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mensa Kakuro (Paperback)

I too have done Cross-Sums for many years and have been frustrated with the lack of challenging books for the experienced. My search is over. Finally a collection that feels like it was put together by someone that actually does these puzzles. There are no small, easy or medium puzzles here. From the first puzzle you will be satisfied. The number of puzzles included is exemplary. This book will cure your addiction.

too easy and most puzzles in this book have the same patterns. i would hardly call this Mensa level - more like advanced level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not the most difficult
I enjoyed these puzzles but found them less difficult than those in the black belt book. So, these are fun but not the most difficult.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best kakuro book I've owned
I've been doing Kakuro for years. This is by far the best book I've had yet. It has tons of puzzles in it, and they get very challenging near the end. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable
Sudoku was getting a bit stale. The 9x9 grid gets a little boring, regardless of difficulty, and there just aren't that many books with funky-shaped sudoku puzzles (which I love)... Read more
