The Great Book of Mind Teasers & Mind Puzzlers

Description

Think your mental muscles are in good shape? Here's a true test of your reasoning strength and agility — 75 utterly original and totally tantalizing brainteasers from master puzzler George J. Summers. Summers finds fascinating challenges in situations as common as a game of tic-tac-toe or tennis, or as strange as a land of habitual Truthtellers and Liars. Whether he's dealing with seating at a party, scoring in a game of darts, or picking winners in a race, Summers constructs a perplexing mystery, the solution to which dangles just out of reach, waiting for the logical leap which brings the answer. And then, of course, you'll find a selection of straight murder mysteries — a victim, a perpetrator, some clues, and a perceptive puzzler to sort it out — that's you! If you're stuck, don't worry — there is a helpful Solution Scheme for every brainteaser (a feature that is unique to Summers' books) and detailed answers that show you step by step how each Teaser or Puzzler is unraveled.
