Product Description

Product Description
These are think-out-of-the-box brain-busters, lots of fun for anyone who enjoys a challenge. Some of the situations presented may seem really strange, and almost impossible to solve, but once the obvious assumptions are discarded, the answers begin to come into focus. The key lies in being creative, and getting into the groove by trying the easier puzzles before moving on to the super-hard ones. The collection includes problems that use visual clues, timed questions, and thorny conundrums that ask you to look for sequences, uncover relationships, use deductive reasoning, and make clever observations. It s a true test of anyone's smarts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of puzzles, 14 April 2007
If you like lateral thinking puzzles then you will love this bumper collection. They are all situations where you have to ask questions to solve the problem. They are great for kids in class or for family and friends. You can't just read the book and solve them on your own. It is more of a team game. When you get stuck you need to do some lateral thinking to attack the problem from new directions. But there are clues here to help too. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time to Think, 23 April 2009
This is a fun book that will also challenge you and your thinking. I like the way you can tackle the puzzles on your own or make a game of it with your friends or colleagues to see which team scores best.

Some of the puzzles I worked out quickly and others took quite a bit of thinking (and many a time the answer eluded me all together). Worry less about getting the "right" answer every time (that's the path to frustration). Concentrate instead on being curious and asking lots of questions around the scenarios given. Simply by doing that you are doing your brain a power of good. And it's meant to be fun!

Ideal for train journeys, the beach, parties, office 'time outs' and team building.

If you find you solve every puzzle you're either Paul Sloane, one of his relatives or simply outstanding at lateral thinking.
