Product Description

Product Description

The latest in the hugely popular series of think-out-of-the box brainteasers, including Classic Lateral Thinking Challenges and Colorful Lateral Thinking Puzzles. Here's how you play the game and figure out these perplexing puzzles: take one of the scenarios, and with the help of a friend who looks at the answer, pose a series of yes and no questions until, by a process of elimination and deduction, you arrive at the solution. If you get stuck - and everyone does from time to time - there are additional clues to push you along. Keep trying and you will reach that glorious "aha!" moment when everything becomes crystal clear. In no time at all you'll have sharpened your wits...and become an accomplished lateral thinker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another fantastic book from the masters of lateral thinking!, 10 April 2007
Paul Sloane and Des MacHale have together over the years produced many books on lateral thinking. I was delighted yesterday to be given this book of theirs which I hadn't seen before. Whether intended for corporate training exercises, or whiling away long car journeys with small children, this book contains enough puzzles to satsify the hungriest of fans, and ranges in difficulty from the fairly easy to the far more thought-provoking. Guaranteed to delight and infuriate in equal measure. Certainly something here for everyone. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Please sir, can we have some more?, 8 April 2007
By N. Darmanin-Demajo (Malta) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a personal trainer and speaker in creativity, I have found Paul's books all very useful and inspirational in trying to make my audiences become aware of how our minds are wired, and how we need to challenge assumptions and learn to 'think out of the box'. This book takes on where all the others left off, with an abundance of stories and situations, some from real life, that will turn any boring evening or presentation, into a fun filled 'mental aerobic' exercise. I have personally used the puzzles with various audiences of all ages, and always thoroughly enjoyed the laughter inevitably generated as suggestions are put forward in attempts to arrive at the correct solution. I will close this review with a comment made to me by a young female student at the end of yet another enjoyable 'lateral thinking puzzles ' session, " Please, sir, can we have some more?" More indeed, I hope Paul and Des can keep the supply coming as readers appreciate the effect that lateral thinking can have in their lives.

2.0 out of 5 stars Puzzles are daft, 11 Oct 2008
By Regulus (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I wonder if the other reviewers read the same book as me! I found the "solutions" to range from daft to completely arbitrary. The questions are under-specified and often there are many alternative answers, many better than the ones give here. I didn't get an "oh yes" feeling to any of the answers when I read them.

On the whole, I wish I'd saved my money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book
I must emphasise that I only read five or six puzzles in this book but the reason I didn't read any more is that the ones I did try were terrible - I wondered at first whether it... Read more
