Book Description

October 7, 2008 Mensa
Created by an art director at the Puzzles.COM website, these phenomenal original brainbusters—more than 200 of them—will stimulate your potential for thinking outside the box. Arranged from easiest to hardest, they’re especially devised for mind-expanding visual solving. And all it takes to crack their mysteries are a pencil, an eraser, patience, and, of course, boundless imagination! Arrange a hinged chain of 11 squares of different sizes into one large square—without overlapping them. Play two-hole billiards on the page, sending two balls into their respective pockets in just two strokes. Figure out how eight patterned cars fit into a checkered parking lot so their colors match the background exactly. Floor plans, tangrams, matchstick puzzles: the variety is amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Puzzle Book!, April 5, 2009
This review is from: Modern Classic Puzzles (Mensa) (Paperback)
Terrific Book. These puzzles don't require any advanced mathematics to solve. Rather, they are fascinating visual-spatial constructions. The book starts off presenting easy ones, but they do gradually get harder. Toward the end, many of them are quite challenging. I usually try to do a couple a night; makes for great brain exercise!

Very nice illustrations with a clean layout. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and hope Peter Grabarchuk continues to make more more of these great puzzles.

5.0 out of 5 stars mind exercise for mind excellence, June 12, 2009

André Silva (Estarreja, Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Classic Puzzles (Mensa) (Paperback)
These days you can find plenty of puzzles and teasers online. However some included in this book are simply the most amazing and tricky i've ever seen. It has some easy ones (by easy i mean puzzles that are not solved right away but, with a bit of reasoning, are easy to solve) as well as almost impossible ones: you will never feel it to be too easy or too hard.

As Clinical Psychologist i can say for sure that a puzzle featuring in this book once a day will help keeping your brain in shape. So, get started!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best puzzle book ever, September 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Classic Puzzles (Mensa) (Paperback)
What's to say? The book is simply excellent. Some of the puzzles may be easy to tackle, others take a lot of time, but all of them are interesting and challenging in one way or another. Highly recommended to anyone interested in puzzles and in spending some time on the airport or the air-plane with this book.
