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.)

Here it comes: a revolution in sudoku solving! This is by far the most complete guide to cracking these addictive puzzles ever produced, with tricks even the experts won t know. While most books might have a few pages of introduction before proceeding straight to the sudokus, this one covers it all: hidden pairs, naked pairs, X-wings, jellyfish, squirmbag, bivalue and bilocation graphs, turbot fish, grid coloring, and chains. Every single one is here, and much more too, including the exclusive Gordonian logic methods (Gordonian rectangles and Gordonian polygons) that will turn even the hardest puzzles into a breeze. Of course, there are hundreds of sudoku for practice. A very special addition is a reprint of the very first sudoku ever published in 1979, from "Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games" magazine!"
