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.

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!

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.
