Classic Lateral Thinking Challenges

By Paul Sloane and Des MacHale

Book Overview

Here's the way lateral thinking puzzles work: you're given a mysterious situation with no apparent solution. But there's a challenging twist: the puzzles do not contain sufficient information to uncover the answer. In order to figure out the solution, you must ask questions. When you reach a dead end with one line of inquiry, try another approach-that's where the lateral thinking comes in. Keep an open mind, check your assumptions, and have a great time! Book jacket.
