β¦ Synopsis
This is the ultimate test for puzzle enthusiasts β the one that will boggle your mind as it entertains you for days on end.
Use it or lose it! You exercise to stay in good physical shape, but your mind needs a workout, too. Keep it sharp by stretching it out on some crosswords that were originally printed in the β50s and β60s. How would you answer this clue: Tennessee Senator? GORE is the answer, but itβs Gore Sr., not Jr.! Do you dare to discover how smart you really are? If so, take the treacherous IQ tests here. Theyβre all timed β you get only an hour to find synonyms, fill in missing words, make logical comparisons, complete equations, and tease out numerical progressions.
See if youβre a genius at math and logic. Start by following twisting paths made by worms crawling across triangular girds. Then forecast a storm brewing by spotting cloud patterns in a numbered diagram. Sharpen your wits on lateral and critical thinking puzzles. Some are old favorites that have baffled people for years. Several are presented in their time-tested way. Most of the standards, however, have a new twist or updated story added. Other puzzles require some inventive solutions, so don't be afraid to be creative. Good luck!
