Book World s Toughest Word Puzzles   32

Download or read book World s Toughest Word Puzzles 32 written by Vaibhav Devanathan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popcorn for your brainThe word games in this book are designed to be accessible in the short term, and challenging in the long term. Your brain's appetite will initially be whetted by the easy puzzles in the first 12 chapters (even there, though, a perfect score is almost impossible unless you really put in the work). As you work your way up to the last few chapters, getting more than 50% of the words you are tasked with finding becomes fiendishly difficult, and it's perfectly understandable if you need multiple breaks, the assistance of a friend, or the assistance of a dictionary or thesaurus.Easy format to understandThe format of the word puzzles in this book is not very complex at all. By the time you're done with the first chapter, you will be ready to solve anything the book throws at you! There is another step function you can expect in Chapter 11, where things get harder, but the abundance of time you enjoy, and of the solutions provided in the book (where answers are segregated by word length) will help you tackle anything thrown at you.Easy to start solving, impossible to 100%Any solver of any age can start with the first 50% of any of the puzzles in this book, but you will need to eat and digest every dictionary ever written to get everything correct.Word Games for DaysThink of this book like an onion. On the surface layer, you have a few puzzles that you can solve fairly quickly. Even in the initial chapters, though, there will always be that one pesky word that you just can't guess. And as you go deeper down the rabbit hole, you will need a diary just to write all your guesses in, and make sure that you have found every single word of a given length. If this was an app, it would get a five star rating for replay value. And then you'd take off one star for occasional extreme frustration, because you just can't guess what you need to.Scrabble game and strategy builderScrabble is the most popular board game involving words and wordplay and vocabulary in English. Most people get better at Scrabble by playing games of Scrabble, but this book offers an alternative method to getting better at the tiles and Double Words. All you need is to read through this book steadily and slowly. The first few chapters offer simpler puzzles, where you have to find a few words that can be made from a given set of letters (just like you would need to, given a Scrabble rack in real life). This book, however, ramps up steadily in difficulty. By the time you get to the final few chapters, you will be solving giant lists of word puzzles, and the ability to make sure you do not miss a single word of a given length, however obscure, and even if it comes at the end of a really long list of words, will help you do better in the real Scrabble world, where spotting that cleverly placed Bingo could net you 50 extra points and bragging rights for a long time (and the envy of your friends).Word Puzzles to solve at any timeEach puzzle in this book has a simple problem statement, succinctly stated in one or two lines. This means that, once you're working on a given puzzle inside a particular chapter, you can go out, take a break, travel, eat, and still have the clue in your mind. You don't even need this book with you when you're trying to solve the puzzle; you just need it when it's time to check the answers. Complete portability!Vocabulary builder for adults and childrenThere is no real age limit on those who read this book. All you need is time, curiosity, and either a strong English vocabulary or a nice thick dictionary (or Google, given that we live in the 21st century). You will be able to exercise your current word gaming skills, and you are also guaranteed to learn many new words (at least 20% of the words in our list are rare Scrabble dictionary words that are not in common English use). All in all, you will be both educated and entertained.

Book The Theater of the Impossible

Download or read book The Theater of the Impossible written by Daniel F. McNeill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-10-24 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain called baseball "the very symbol, the outward and visible expression of the drive and push and rush and struggle of the raging, tearing, booming nineteeth-century". This book searches the concrete actions typical of baseball games for the meaning of what they represent. For example, the struggles in a game of individuals against a group of enemies organized to put them out represent the struggles of Americans to succeed in a fiercely competitive capitalistic economy. But baseball combines characteristics of both Christian Protestantism and industrial capitalism. So a home run represents a sudden, unexpected success and at the same time a home run embodies in a game a sudden impossible miraculous redemption. We are a people who worship not just what is possible in life but what is impossible and baseball is our national theater.

Book Experiencing the Impossible

Download or read book Experiencing the Impossible written by Gustav Kuhn and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the scientific study of magic reveals intriguing—and often unsettling—insights into the mysteries of the human mind. What do we see when we watch a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat or read a person's mind? We are captivated by an illusion; we applaud the fact that we have been fooled. Why do we enjoy experiencing what seems clearly impossible, or at least beyond our powers of explanation? In Experiencing the Impossible, Gustav Kuhn examines the psychological processes that underpin our experience of magic. Kuhn, a psychologist and a magician, reveals the intriguing—and often unsettling—insights into the human mind that the scientific study of magic provides.Magic, Kuhn explains, creates a cognitive conflict between what we believe to be true (for example, a rabbit could not be in that hat) and what we experience (a rabbit has just come out of that hat!). Drawing on the latest psychological, neurological, and philosophical research, he suggests that misdirection is at the heart of all magic tricks, and he offers a scientific theory of misdirection. He explores, among other topics, our propensity for magical thinking, the malleability of our perceptual experiences, forgetting and misremembering, free will and mind control, and how magic is applied outside entertaiment—the use of illusion in human-computer interaction, politics, warfare, and elsewhere. We may be surprised to learn how little of the world we actually perceive, how little we can trust what we see and remember, and how little we are in charge of our thoughts and actions. Exploring magic, Kuhn illuminates the complex—and almost magical—mechanisms underlying our daily activities.

Book World s Toughest Word Puzzles   60

Download or read book World s Toughest Word Puzzles 60 written by Vaibhav Devanathan and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It helps you improve your concentration and focusAs our daily lives increasingly revolve around electronic devices and bite-sized pieces of content, we grow ever more accustomed to jumping from one diversion to another. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does affect our ability to create something intricate that requires many hours of concentrated focus; in extreme cases, it can even lead to lower output at work or school, as we become less and less good at spending time thinking about one particular problem before being distracted by that cute cat or dog we saw on YouTube the previous night at 3 AM, when we should have been asleep. Luckily for you, word puzzles like those in this book can change the game, and slowly restore your ability to focus the full fire of your attention on a seemingly insurmountable problem, and give you the rush of seeing that problem melt in front of you and reveal its secrets to your satisfied mind.It's a great way to unwind at the end of a long dayOn some days, you want to relax, unwind, and forget the world. There are many ways to do this; a book of word puzzles is an interesting non-intuitive way to achieve rest, relaxation, and a non-tiring level of mental stimulation. The puzzles in this book are designed to offer both diversion and challenge; in case you are very tired, you can just skip the more difficult puzzles in every chapter, or just look at their solutions (and convince yourself that you were a second away from discovering the solution on your own). You can, in a sense, choose your own "skill level" while reading through this book; questions are at varying levels of difficulty, you can avail of hints to help you uncover a few of the letters you seek to complete the two words in every puzzle, and the answers are always available in case you want to watch a walkthrough rather than put your brain through minutes of hard toil. Of course, the dopamine released when we solve either a step of the puzzle or crack the complete solution is a welcome boost to our ego; it is always a good thing to end the day with a sense of accomplishment, however small.
