Customer Reviews

Invigorating Mental Exercise!
I bought the 1999 Barnes & Noble reprint of this book in the US as a way of 'training' for the mensa entrance exam. The puzzles maintain exactly the right ratio of frustration:success to keep me locked in puzzle solving mode for hours at a time!

The only complaint I have is in the amount of errata in the book... I'm in zone 2 of 10 now. Zone 1 appears to be error free... but Zone 2 (Math) has 4 incorrect answers (5,6,8 & 80), 2 incorrect numbers on a graph (Obstacle 15 C2 & D4) and (while not technically errata...) 1 alternate correct answer for #36

Errors aside... the puzzles are exactly the sort of things you find on IQ tests. If you're wanting to get your brain back in shape this book will work it!
