Book Description
Created by an art director at the Puzzles.COM website, these phenomenal original brainbusters—more than 200 of them—will stimulate your potential for thinking outside the box. Arranged from easiest to hardest, they’re especially devised for mind-expanding visual solving. And all it takes to crack their mysteries are a pencil, an eraser, patience, and, of course, boundless imagination! Arrange a hinged chain of 11 squares of different sizes into one large square—without overlapping them. Play two-hole billiards on the page, sending two balls into their respective pockets in just two strokes. Figure out how eight patterned cars fit into a checkered parking lot so their colors match the background exactly. Floor plans, tangrams, matchstick puzzles: the variety is amazing!
