Additional Big Book of Brain Games Information
|
About the original 1000 PlayThinks,Will Shortz of The New York Times said it best: “The most wide-ranging, visually appealing, entertaining, gigantic collection of brainteasers since Sam Loyd’s Cyclopedia of Puzzles almost a century ago.” Inside The Big Book of Brain Games, you will find an obsessive collection of 1,000 challenges, puzzles, riddles, illusions—originals as well as must-do classics—it’s like salted peanuts for the brain. With jampacked pages and a full-color illustration for each entry, the book, opened anywhere, is a call to action. (And it’s guaranteed to make you smarter.) Twelve basic categories include Geometry, Patterns, Numbers, Logic and Probability, and Perception. An easy-to-read key at the top of each game ranks its difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10, while indices in the back cross-reference the puzzles. (You’ll find the answers back there, too.)

What Customers Say About Big Book of Brain Games:

Is an excellent resourse to challenge our students to think more analytical but without the pressure of the math test.
help to improve thinking and memory power.but some questions are not worthy good book for children as well as adult.
This book is A-#1 in his opinion. My son-in-law is always looking for something to stimulate his children's minds.
It seems very good. It was given as a gift. Haven't had complete feedback yet.
If the problems would take 3 minutes on average, that's 3000 minutes, which is 50 hours. It opens flat and the problems come with large images and print, so that it can be read together with other people. The puzzles are rated from 1 to 10 in difficulty, so there's something for every skill level.I would've probably found this optimally challenging when I was about 10-15 or so.One of my major complaints is that puzzles aren't sorted by difficulty: there should be separate sections for easy, medium and hard puzzles for example.1000 puzzles is probably also too much. Yes, it's illustrated, colorful and printed on large glossy sheets of paper, but the illustrations are just awful. While it's not much more than an average console or PC RPG, I doubt most have even gotten close to finishing the book. (just look at the cover). Anyone would feel out of place among its assortment of toys, clowns and cowboys. This book seems to be targeted to families, also judging from the reviews here.
