Presents a collection of puzzles that require creative and alternative problem-solving skills, rated from easy to very difficult, and includes clues and answers.

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.

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 woman walked into a room and there was a new picture there. She immediately knew someone had been killed. How? (The answer : the picture was a chalk outline on the floor) Puzzles like this, each centered on a mysterious murder, will grab puzzle-heads and won't let them go until they find the solution. Two or more can play the game, with one person reading the book and answering the other players' yes-or-no questions. Or solvers can fly solo, thanks to the carefully constructed clues revealed one by one in the text."--Publisher's description.

Paul Sloane and Des MacHale--the wily puzzle masters who have written several lateral thinking collections--are back with more tear-your-hair-out challenges. And once again, the purpose of their devious conundrums is to force solvers to think outside of the box. Instead of jumping to obvious conclusions, players have to ask lots of questions, use their imagination, piece together the subtlest clues, and come at the problem from a variety of perspectives. Here’s how to do it: one person, who knows the solution, takes questions. The answers help narrow down the possible explanations--and the more logic, creativity, and sheer determination that go into the queries, the better the chance of success!

Our lateral thinking experts, Sloane and MacHale, have re-donned their proverbial thinking caps to bring solvers another selection of thought-provoking puzzles. Each one presents a mini-scenario, and it's up to you to discover the secret twist. Thinking outside the box has never been so much fun.

Are you good at thinking outside the box? Do you consider yourself logical? And, most important of all, do you love a good challenge? Then this Mensa collection of devious brain-bafflers will entertain you -- and your friends and family -- for hours.

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!
