Synopsis

Are you a creative? A problem solver? Do you think outside the box?

If you can answer yes to any of those questions, this book may be perfect for you.

Introducing a collection of the best riddles and brainteasers that will challenge the way you think, introduce you to new ways to look at problems, and expand your mind.

People who love riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers are familiar with the rush of the "aha!" moment, the "that's it!" moment, the "of course!" moment: the clarity of the lightbulb going off when you've figured it all out. Those moments exercise your mind and brain, helping keep you mentally sharp.

Even if you are new to riddles, puzzles, or brain teasers, this book will be a great introduction that helps you become a better problem solver who is more comfortable with thinking logically, but outside the box.

The problems in the book range in difficulty from light & easy to hard to very hard and will provide a challenge for even the sharpest mind. There are discrete reasoning riddles, mathematical reasoning riddles, practical reasoning riddles, and some classical logic riddles as well, along with old school problem-solving puzzles you might have come across in school.

There is no word play! Every puzzle has a definite and satisfying answer; some of which will blow your mind.

In this book you will be figuring out how to cross bridges, how to escape from prison cells, how to steal rope, how to shoot cyborgs, how to transport bananas through the desert, how to figure out the color of a hat you have on, how to turn on lightbulbs, and how to save a ton of prisoners from being executed!

Enjoy, and remember: once you peek at the solution you will never be able to unsee it!

About this title

From the Author

This book is the result of hundreds of hours poring over library books, web forums, old notebooks, old conversations with friends, and my own memory! 

Some of these riddles and brain teasers you will find if you look into other books and spend time searching through websites. But you will have a hard time finding such a diverse, challenging, and appropriate collection all in one place. 

When I first started this project I was working with over four hundred riddles that I considered good. Then I focused it down to about 150 puzzles that I thought were very good. Then I kept focusing it down and refining the list of riddles until I landed on 78 brain teasers that I thought were -amazing- and unique. 

For example, any riddle-lover knows that you will come across countless numbers of riddles that involve liars and truth-tellers and so many of them can all be solved using the exact same logic and reasoning. I tried to take the best of those types of riddles and include the greatest ones from each archetype. This keeps the content fresh and exciting with each new riddle, but also allows you to explore all of these different lines of reasoning and solving.

It has been an absolute pleasure putting this collection together and I hope that you enjoy having such a wide but focused collection of riddles all condensed into one place!
