Product Description

Review
"The Grabarchuk family - father and sons - make some of the most original and ingenious brain teasers in the world. I could happily spend weeks with this book." - WILL SHORTZ, Crossword Editor, The New York Times Puzzlemaster, NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday"

Product Description
This collection of more than one hundred original and highly sophisticated puzzles presents challenges that require creative, 'outside of the box' thinking. Many different types of puzzles are included, such as word, number, logical, visual, spatial, dissection, dividing, dot-connecting, matchstick, coin, and more. Each aesthetically appealing puzzle is designed to improve problem solving skills; train geometric, combinatorial, and spatial imagination; bolster visual perception and logical reasoning; and foster the development of a perseverant and self-confident approach to challenges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Innovative, 18 Sep 2008
By C. Altay (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike many puzzle books out there, this one contains all original and never-before-seen puzzles only. A treat the most avid puzzle fans may expect from any book by the Grabarchuk family of puzzle designers.

108 entertaining puzzles with detailed solutions from a diverse range of disciplines: Visual problems, mind benders, coin/matchstick puzzles and word challenges. A significant number of puzzles also include unexpected tricks to be discovered.

Simply innovative, and not-so-simple indeed.
