Eye-Pleasing, Mind-Teasing 3-D Conundrums

Description

Are you looking for a different type of puzzle to challenge you? Something that will perplex even you, the perceptive puzzler, even though you think you've seen and solved every mind-boggler there is? Search no further than this collection of eye-popping, brain-twisting, colorful 3D puzzles. The extra dimension makes it harder to pair off shapes that are equal in length (but are coiled or twisted), decide which two salamanders out of 13 have the same pattern, and much more. Look at every detail and keep your mind sharp as you figure out the solutions! Three dimensions turn these conundrums trickily mind-teasing, while lots of color helps make them even more eye-pleasing than ever. Here are eighty-six brain-baffling concepts both classic and tantalizingly new, inspired by the computer and graphic art. Pair off a series of coiled shapes by their length, a task made much harder by the fact that each coil is viewed from a different perspective. Play number games with a stack of dice: you'll see some of the dots, and get mathematic hints about the ones not shown to help you calculate the answer. Match some figures with their shadows. Thirteen salamanders crawl across the page in different directions: which two have the same pattern? These attractive puzzles pose a challenge you just can't refuse.
