The subject of many (at times testing) hours of enjoyment. Just what I wanted, and a great book to test the old grey matter

Bought as presents for 3 more intelligent friends. I listen to the “Today” programme every day, but at that time in the morning, my brain’s just not awake enough to solve the daily test. So, perhaps I’ll persevere with the book instead. It still looks frighteningly difficult.

Exactly what it says. All types of puzzles, my favourite are the mathematical ones

Beautifully typeset, laid out, and presented on lovely fine quality paper, this is the Rolls Royce of maths puzzle books. Yes, not all the puzzles involve maths, but a great many of them do — so if you like or love maths puzzles, this is the book for you. Just in time for Christmas, too. The puzzles are first rate and come from a lot of very clever contributors from the world of maths, science, and logic. All brilliant folks with a sense of fun. Enjoy!
