Customer Reviews

Fun for a Group!

We gathered informally in the living room, (ages 19-60)and started asking the questions, and what a ton of fun! It can be competitive, to see who gets the answer first! A few really stumped us, and a few made us feel stupid, they were so simple. It's a fun book!

Fun

This is a great book full of many categories to stretch your mind, including math, science, and story problems. Many of the questions can be played in a group, like 20 questions. Then you also have to arrange things like pencils and coins certain ways. This book is a great introduction to lateral thinking puzzles!

There's always an answer

This is a brilliant little book that can be used for party games or just to while away the time if you enjoy puzzles. It has something for everyone and apart from the entertainment value I have also found some of the puzzles to be quite educational. What is most fascinating is that although many of the puzzles seem to be impossible to solve there is always an answer. A little gem and an ideal fun gift.

I just love lateral thinking

One day my Language Arts teacher said that we would try something fun today. Yeah right I thought, but he read us some lateral thinking puzzles, and I just loved trying to figure them out. I bought this book and read every one, some were hard, and some I could figure out after thinking for about 5 minutes. It is a perfect thing for boredom, and is just fun and interesting. A man was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister, and was perfectly normal. What was going on?

A great Challenge

This book is a very big challenge. It is great for rainy days, summer, vacations, trips & etc.
