3.0 out of 5 stars For the more able Mathematician, this is a truly great book!, 16 April 2005

By	Hania "dancingpink" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is not intended to tell you lots about the book, only about who the book is aimed for. I bought this book with the expectation that it would have lots of puzzles suitable for the "average Joe", or there abouts and would require some level of Mathematical thinking so would be nice, light hearted practice for my students ( I am a secondary school maths teacher). The level and style of the puzzles varies, but the majority of problems are aimed at those who are capable of attaining grade A at GCSE Mathematics and it does have some fairly complex solutions. The layout of the book is also fairly old fashioned. It was first published in 1971 and the font and presentation is in line with what you would expect of a book published at that time. If you are looking for puzzles involving a higher level of mathematical thinking and a variety of styles of problems however then this book does suit this purpose.

In summary, this book may be great or fairly useless, depending on for what purpose it is wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiendish, 19 Feb 2002

By A Customer

Do not read this book before starting work or less than 4 hours before going to bed. Once these puzzles get hold of your brain, it's no use for anything else. Keep the book in a locked drawer and only get it out when you have several hours to spare.

They start off easy, but soon escalate to the point where you swear the puzzles must be misprints and there is some information missing. Eventually, you turn to the answers and kick yourself black and blue. When you know one answer, you think the next puzzle will be easier. It isn't - each one needs a completely original mode of thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the mathematically curious., 19 Oct 1996

By A Customer

As a 7th grade math teacher, I use problems from this book to supplement my gifted pre-algebra classes, and to provide a challenge to my math teams. Superb book.
