Part of a fun range of pocket-sized puzzle books for adults. The lateral thinking puzzles in this book were compiled by Des MacHale, an expert in the field of lateral thinking, who has published more than 50 books in a range of subjects from humour to puzzles. The cryptic conundrums he has put together in this book are designed to trip you up and catch you out. Some are relatively easy, others are decidedly difficult but all are perfectly possible - if you think laterally!

As Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge," and every puzzle here encourages youngsters to think creatively and find ingenious solutions--not just parrot facts they've been spoon-fed.

The latest in the hugely popular series of think-out-of-the box brainteasers, including Classic Lateral Thinking Challenges and Colorful Lateral Thinking Puzzles. Here's how you play the game and figure out these perplexing puzzles: take one of the scenarios, and with the help of a friend who looks at the answer, pose a series of yes and no questions until, by a process of elimination and deduction, you arrive at the solution. If you get stuck--and everyone does from time to time--there are additional clues to push you along. Keep trying and you will reach that glorious "aha!" moment when everything becomes crystal clear. In no time at all you'll have sharpened your wits...and become an accomplished lateral thinker.

A great way to have fun and build brain power, Brain Teasers offers a variety of games to delight and challenge even the most advanced puzzler. Brain Teasers shows off some outrageously fun new mindbenders, like anasearches (a combination of an anagram, a crossword, and a word search), numberlockers (think of a crossword puzzle with numbers instead of words), and alphabetics (a miniature crossword puzzle that uses each letter of the alphabet exactly once). Perfect for anyone who sits down with the New York Times crossword puzzle every morning or works through Sudoku puzzles on the way home, this book is guaranteed to excite your mind and jump-start your brain.

Stand out from the pack--don't think conventionally, think laterally! And, you can start developing well-honed mental skills with more than 80 braintwisting puzzles that test your creativity and smarts. At first it might not seem as if there's enough information to solve them, but if you just persist, you'll come up with the logical answers. Some of the conundrums come from real life: try to figure out how the Greek playwright Aeschylus could have been killed by a tortoise or how the truth about Mary Queen of Scots' baldness was finally revealed. Or, give this a shot: A runner was awarded a prize for winning a marathon. But, the judges disqualified him when they saw a picture of his wristwatch. Why? Happy puzzling! Answer: A picture of the runner early in the race showed him wearing his watch on his right wrist. When he crossed the finishing line it was on his left wrist. The judges investigated and found that one man had run the first half and his identical twin brother ran the second half of the race.

Brain-Boosting Challenges has over 450 perplexing puzzles, memory puzzles, language puzzles and so much more!

The clues to solving each puzzle can be found within it, but you need to break free from conventional thinking and toss aside core assumptions. Ninety entertainingly illustrated puzzles, from murder mysteries to treasure hunts, will challenge your thinking skills, and there are hints if you need them.

Train your brain and boost your IQ! If you believe you can think laterally, and want to take the opportunity to boost your IQ, then the puzzles in this book are just for you!
