Book Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book covering wide range of puzzles.
It's much like the blue book (Mensa Challenge Your Brain Math & Logic Puzzles) - same authors, format, number of pages, etc. Only the puzzles are different :)
So, you get around 75 pages of mostly well-known puzzles and 20 pages of answers.
There are typically between 8 and 20 puzzles of each type, although there are some extremes such as End View (30 puzzles) and Kakuro (only 6).
The puzzle types are:
- Alternate corners
- Battleships (classic, lighthouses variant, minesweeper variant)
- Black and White
- Cross Sums (Kakuro)
- Dominoes (Domino Hunt)
- End View (ABCD)
- Fences (Slitherlink)
- Half-Dominoes
- Hex Loops
- Lighthouses
- Minesweeper
- Number Place
- Rain Clouds
- Skyscrapers
- Snaky Tiles
- Spokes
- Square Numbers
- Square Routes
- Tents
- Worms
Summary of Mensa Exercise Your Mind Math & Logic Puzzles
An old favorite--Mensa Math & Logic Puzzles--gets a brand-new look: it's now in color!
And the puzzles are fantastic: they're the kind of challenge found at the World Puzzle Championships, and they require no language to solve. For example, you are given a grid of dots that has some numbers (0, 1, 2, or 3) in them. You need to connect the dots in one continuous path so that each number is surrounded by that many lines. So a "3" means that three of the four sides around it must be connected. All the puzzles are similar abstract exercises, and all have unique solutions that can be reached using pure logic. They're difficult--and really satisfying exercise for your brain.
