Synopsis
Logic is not enough! To unravel a lateral puzzle, you have to train your brain to think differently. Ranging from (relatively) easy to fiendishly hard, these classic conundrums—almost 100 of them—require mental agility. Can you figure out these problems from only the vaguest details and yes-or-no questions? It’s challenging, imaginative fun.
