The Chicken from Minsk really gives your brain a workout...
By A Customer on June 26, 1999
Format: Paperback
As a survivor of the course based on this book and taught by Yuri himself at MIT, I must say that The Chicken from Minsk was a true challenge. The great thing about it is that it builds critical thinking skills while making even the nastiest math and physics (shall I dare say?) fun!

Ever so much fun for the curious of all ages...
By A Customer on December 29, 1995
Format: Paperback
The former Soviet Union had a much more mathematically
rigerous tradition in physics than did the rest of the
world. These problems are word problems, and they will
make you sweat. Ideal for the curious of all ages, but
especially for teens, to keep their curiosity alive. I
think highly of this book-gave 7 copies away this holliday
season.

Awesome time killer
By Le Conex on June 20, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an amazing brain teaser, the first couple of chapters " the warmups" they are really easy, but it gets harder and harder every time, if you enjoy that pain in your brain when you think you got the answer but realize that you gotta keep pushing harder to find the correct and logical answer, then you will love this book !!!
