Product Description
Product Description
Here is a challenge that puzzle fans will find simply irresistible: a really smart, varied, and original collection of more than 200 contemporary brainteasers. Some are visual; others geometric, and still more are topological. They play games with words and numbers, and with matchsticks and coins. And many of them are of World Puzzle Championship level; in other words, really hard. Divide figures into their congruent parts, or rearrange the pieces of a patterned star so that the result precisely matches a chequered cross. Try a little puzzling origami: fold an origami square exactly six times to create the shape of a house. Do cubical inversions, shift coins around from shape to shape in a given number of moves, and much more.

top notch puzzle book, 13 Nov 2005
By pete "pete" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Puzzle Classics: Ingenious Twists on Timeless Favorites (Mensa) (Paperback)
Great puzzle book! - full of reworked classics, but with plenty of new twists and ideas - though you'll need to get plenty of paper and a pair of scissors to work many of the puzzles.
Let's hope for more puzzles from Serhiy!

Not Your TYpical Puzzle Book, 16 Jun 2005
By Puzzle and Origami Enthusiast - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Puzzle Classics: Ingenious Twists on Timeless Favorites (Mensa) (Paperback)
If you're an afficianado of visual/logicial puzzles, you've probably shared my experience when browsing through so-called new puzzle books at your local bookstore-they all recycle the same old familiar chestnuts! There are a few places to find original puzzles-Games Magazine, the World Puzzle Championships, Scott Kim, Cliff Johnson, Think Fun-but not many. Happily, Grabarchuk's new book is a welcome departure from the norm. His puzzles are original and first rate, in a league far above your typical Mensa puzzle book. Highly recommended.
