theme. For example, in the second chapter, you will find mechanical
puzzles with double pieces, riddles about couples, line puzzles and
more.There are match puzzles, tangram-related puzzles, paper
puzzles, geometric puzzles and mathematical puzzles to tease and
occupy all types of puzzlists. Some require intuition but all are
two minutes away from a solution.UNIQUE CHALLENGES As with their
previous puzzle books, the authors, David Goodman and Ilan Garibi,
aim to provide a fresh and original book. Many of the puzzles are

fields. For example, you will find symmetry puzzles, cover-up
puzzles, and even fraction puzzles. The chapters are divided
according to the number of pieces used; from single-piece puzzles
to puzzles requiring a complete set.WHY USE THE SOMA CUBE? From the

world that originated from China. It traditionally requires the
participant to arrange seven pieces (or 'tans') into a shape just
by looking at the given silhouette.LEARN WHILE PLAYING The puzzles
in this unique book are fresh, innovative and compelling. The
puzzle pieces are building units for puzzles that boost mental
dexterity with a variety of challenges from various fields of
recreational mathematics. Come on and play with symmetry puzzles,
cover-up puzzles and self-similarity puzzles to increase your skill
and mental acuity!NEW PUZZLE DESIGNS To add variety and challenge,
some of the puzzles may not use all seven pieces of the Tangram
set, while others may use pieces from two or more sets.The authors
utilize a creative twist in this collection that is different from
classic Tangram puzzles: Most of the puzzles do not allow
connections between the pieces unless they share a common edge.
With this slight change to the rules, an entirely new universe of
Tangram puzzles and challenges is unleashed to delight the puzzle
solver!PROVIDES HOURS OF FUN The majority of the puzzles in this

'This is a marvellous book. The diversity of possible puzzles that
can be given with these very limited resources, which are basically
some paper and scissors, is overwhelming, and the challenges are
sometimes very tough. Even the two-star problems may be hard for an
untrained puzzler. This is medicine against boredom on long rainy
days, but be careful not to get addicted or it may suck up your
less empty and sunny days as well.' See Full ReviewEuropean
