Download or read book Quick to solve Brainteasers written by José Julián Mendoza Fernández and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't think too hard or you'll never solve these logic puzzles and riddles. The answers to all 187 are easy once you catch the tricky wording. How can you tie a knot in a napkin by holding one end in each hand without letting go of it? Impossible, you say (or your friends will say, if you bet them). But: Cross your arms and hold a tip of the napkin in each hand. When you uncross your arms, the knot will be formed! Now try this riddle: I climbed up a cherry tree, where I found cherries. I did not pick cherries, nor did I leave cherries. How can you explain this? Answer: I climbed up a cherry tree with two cherries in my hand. I picked only one. I left the other one on the tree. I did not "pick cherries," because I "picked a cherry." Take this dare: My bird can fly faster than any supersonic plane. Here's how: If you put my bird inside any plane and make it fly in the same direction as the plane, it will go faster than the plane. 96 pages, 52 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.
Download or read book Totally Tough Brainteasers written by Leonid Mochalov and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To solve these inventive brainteasers, your brain has to be in tip-top shape. Warm up with some (slightly) easier puzzles: beginning in the left corner of a box with grids, try to reach the bottom right square. You may pass only through the left and right sides of small squares, but not through their top or bottom. And you can't go through the black squares at all. Another challenge involves four dice, all stacked up. Can you find a pattern that lets you figure out how many pips are on the base side? Arrange the "magical dominoes" precisely and mathematically; do the equations to figure out how. There are also unusual card tricks, "cut-it" puzzles that involve reconstructing figures that have been broken up, and three-dimensional conundrums. As you work each one out, you'll feel yourself getting smarter every minute.
