Product Description

Product Description
Paul Sloane and Des MacHale - the wily puzzle masters who have written several lateral thinking collections - are back with more tear-your-hair-out challenges. And once again, the purpose of their devious conundrums is to force solvers to think outside of the box. Instead of jumping to obvious conclusions, players have to ask lots of questions, use their imagination, piece together the subtlest clues and come at the problem from a variety of perspectives. Here's how to do it: one person, who knows the solution, takes questions. The answers help narrow down the possible explanations - and the more logic, creativity and sheer determination that go into the queries, the better the chance of success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Embark on a Lateral Adventure, 3 Oct 2006
By Simon (England) - See all my reviews
I have been an avid fan of lateral thinking puzzles from youth upwards. There are a number of "classics" that you come across over and over. If I were to mention the albatross, midget and countless dead bodies, you might know what I mean! However, here we have a compilation of brand new puzzles to satisfy our appetites. These are bright and fresh from novel ideas but they remain faithful to the classical formula. They have the vital lateral twist and retain the ability to leave you either clapping one hand to your forehead in dismay or brimming over with triumph when you succeed.

The variety is of puzzles is worth a mention. There is a wide range of scenarios, including a good number taken from real life. Some are relatively easy whilst an equal number are very difficult. There is something for everyone here - it should suit most tastes.

This book is ideal for entertaining your family or friends for an evening indoors or on a long journey. It will grip their attention, stimulate their imagination and test their lateral thinking skills, in search of the solution.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete Rubbish!, 9 Feb 2009
By Mrs. J. Ivory (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my husband as we both enjoy lateral thinking puzzles. But we found that most of the puzzles answers were completely obscure and there would be no way that you could guess the answer from the clues given in the puzzle, which is surely the whole point. We actually ended up throwing the book in the bin as we got so annoyed with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Problem solved!, 9 Mar 2009
Bought this product for a friend's birthday. He loves riddles and is always testing new ones out on me so I thought i'd get him some new ones! He loved the book as it was something different and more thoughtful than something like a CD. Great for a small gift idea!
