WORLD'S TRICKIEST PUZZLES
Description
Greetings, fellow puzzle enthusiasts. This book is something of a milestone for me, being the tenth volume in my series of puzzle books. When I set out to write these books I Intended to present my readers with a collection of the finest puzzles and problems that have challenged thinking people for the past 100 years. This volume adds another 96 brain-busters to the list. Not all these puzzles are venerable problems of the past. I've created several new items, as well. You'll also find over a hundred detailed and amusing illustrations to liven up the presentation.
In this book you'll travel back in time to our favorite diner to match wits with Hash House Harriet, check out the spying methods of J. Pinkerton Snoopington, play a game of checkers with Mr. Fogg, learn how Joan Crawford would handle a job application, and attend the "Riddle Ball" at the famous old Palm House. Then it's off on a Mediterranean cruise, a stop in the Old West for a Flame in Comet cocktail, and then a chance to win a wager against that prince among conmen, J. Wellington Moneybags. Other problems deal with phrenology, archaeology, the Second World War, chess, the circus, farming and the machinations of a mad scientist. All in all, you're in for an exciting adventure in Puzzleland.
Find a nice comfortable chair, a supply of pencils and paper, and hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your door for the next few hours. It's time to do battle with The World's Trickiest Puzzles!
