This is good fun, and certainly stretches your brain. There are also brief explanations as to how the answers are arrived at, which is really good if you've never 'broken the code' of these types of puzzles. However, there is some repetition of questions (and I've only had the disk a week) and, unless I'm really more stupid that I thought I was, some of the answers are wrong according to the explanations - as in:

What is the next number in this sequence? 200, 197, 193, 188, 176, ?

My answer: Don't know!

Their answer 169 as sequence is 200 - 3, 197 - 4, 193 - 5, 188 - 6, 176 - 7

But surely 188 minus 6 is 182... and sequence between numbers is not 3, 4, 5, 6 but 3, 4, 5, 12.....

Still fun, and keeps the little grey cells ticking over - just be aware that if you get stumped on a question it may not be your fault!
