If you are not only a lover of brain teasers and puzzles, but have a keen interest in learning how your gray matter actually works, this is the book for you.
While full of the requisite teasers that I swear, really do actually make your brain hurt with the effort to solve them, the book does what very few others do; it teaches you how to solve them. You are shown the skills you need to tackle most of the puzzles within, with explanations on how your brain processes certain types of information and gives you tricks to help you train your brain.
I couldn’t get over how fun this book was, while reviewing it I had to literally stop myself from agonizing over the puzzles, pry my eyes off the pages and write this review. Instead, I kept getting distracted over how to cut a round birthday cake into 8 equal pieces using only three slices.
See? Now you are going to draw that cake and think on how to slice it into 8 pieces with only three cuts.
My advice: buy it, try it and have an absolute blast training your brain!
