Product Description

The latest in the hugely popular series of think-out-of-the box brainteasers, including Classic Lateral Thinking Challenges and Colorful Lateral Thinking Puzzles. Here's how you play the game and figure out these perplexing puzzles: take one of the scenarios, and with the help of a friend who looks at the answer, pose a series of yes and no questions until, by a process of elimination and deduction, you arrive at the solution. If you get stuck--and everyone does from time to time--there are additional clues to push you along. Keep trying and you will reach that glorious "aha!" moment when everything becomes crystal clear. In no time at all you'll have sharpened your wits...and become an accomplished lateral thinker.

Fabulous for thinking skills5
I used this book with my learning disabled students in math class. It made them use their noggins, and they were actually competitive and enjoyed it.

Outstanding Lateral Thinking Puzzles5
I have been keen on lateral puzzles for more decades than I care to admit to. This is a great sample of life situations where you need to twist your thinking a bit to arrive at the solution. It's no longer all about improbable circus acts and albatross pies!

I particularly liked The Shot That Saved. Speechless left me speechless. And I wonder how often The Plant is done??

So much fun!!5
This book is so much fun! I had originally bought it for my 11-year-old son to expose him to something new. He ended up being incredibly good at it right off the bat, and I totally stunk!! But now, I have caught onto the concept of thinking outside the box and we have so much fun working out the scenarios. Very entertaining and challenging.
