โฆ Synopsis
Set your brain to work on this colourful collection of puzzles. Varying from very tough to deceptively easy, all are in this book: optical illusions, 3-D and picture puzzles, brainteasers and puzzles with coins, paperclips, pencils, matches, and puzzles with other everyday objects. There are word and number puzzles as well as puzzles requiring the dexterity of balancing 9 nails on top of a tenth, for example. We can't guarantee that you'll be able to solve every puzzle in this book, but you can be assured of many hours of puzzle-fun.
