Don't think too hard or you'll never solve these logic puzzles and riddles. The answers to all 187 are easy once you catch the tricky wording. How can you tie a knot in a napkin by holding one end in each hand without letting go of it? Impossible, you say (or your friends will say, if you bet them). But: Cross your arms and hold a tip of the napkin in each hand. When you uncross your arms, the knot will be formed! Now try this riddle: I climbed up a cherry tree, where I found cherries. I did not pick cherries, nor did I leave cherries. How can you explain this? Answer: I climbed up a cherry tree with two cherries in my hand. I picked only one. I left the other one on the tree. I did not "pick cherries," because I "picked a cherry." Take this dare: My bird can fly faster than any supersonic plane. Here's how: If you put my bird inside any plane and make it fly in the same direction as the plane, it will go faster than the plane. 96 pages, 52 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.

Take the Mensa challenge! These extraordinarily entertaining puzzles can confound even those with high IQs-and that's what makes them such delightfully tricky fun. A few can be solved relatively quickly, but the hardest may seem nearly impossible to crack. Give your skills a real workout on numerical conundrums, word games, lateral thinking problems, and riddles. Brainteasers, arranged in order of difficulty, train the mind and provide a good time all at once. The most complex bafflers include chess, logic, and spatial puzzles. Here's a small sampler of what's inside! � A farmer has twenty sheep, ten pigs, and ten cows. If we call the pigs cows, how many cows will he have? � Which three boys' names are anagrams of one another? Answers: 1. Ten cows. We can call the pigs cows, but that doesn't make them cows. 2. Arnold, Roland, and Ronald.

SILLY TREES is an anagram of what 10-letter word? What’s the next number in the sequence 483, 759, 264, 837? What two words that sound alike mean AUDIBLY and PERMITTED? Don’t be surprised if the answers aren’t easy to figure out. These puzzles are from a rich and varied new Mensa collection, and they’re meant to challenge even the most experienced puzzle fans. Some of the mind teasers test for knowledge of specific facts, but most can be solved by pure brain power. Readers who don’t give up too soon, who look beyond the obvious, use their imaginations, and put their minds to work, will find a great sense of accomplishment and hours of fascinating diversion. (answers: tirelessly, 592, aloud and allowed.)
