These tough problems demand strong powers of observation. Photos show extreme close-ups of ordinary objects, and offer a tantalizing hint to their identity in words. The answer page displays the objects in their usual guise. Have you ever really noticed a single spiral on a candy cane? Could you recognize a notch on the gear of a can opener? Find out.
Based on the Mindtrap Game, this challenging puzzle book invites readers to sharpen their thinking skills by solving dozens of brainteasers, optical illusions, riddles, and logic problems. The author alternates word problems and math puzzles with interesting quotes from famous people and fullcolor photo puzzles accompanied by helpful hints. A detailed answer key is included in the back of the book. This entertaining resource shows learners how to think in new ways and to see things in a different light. Although most of these puzzles need cerebral power to solve them, some of the puzzles have solutions that are surprisingly simple and straightforward. So before you fall for the mind traps, sharpen your common sense muscles and get to work. This book is the perfect companion for long family car rides and rainy Saturdays. 2000, Sterling Publishing Company, Ages 9 to 12, $6.95. Reviewer: Debra Briatico
