Most people associate brainteasers with IQ or similar standardized tests. Unfortunately, most of these tests instead of making you feel smart have the exact opposite effect. However, brainteasers can be a lot of fun in their own right and when approached independently of any particular goal in mind. This collection of brainteasers is a perfect example of that: puzzles are challenging, but not to the point that you would completely give up. Brainteasers are interesting, creative and original. Most of them don"t require any specialized knowledge. And if you get stuck, you can flip to the back of the book and take a look at the solutions. Overall, a great collection of brainteasers and puzzles.
