Things Aren't Always As They Seem.....

This book is full of clever puzzles that test your brainpower and leave you wanting more. They all star with a very ordinary situation, and then things quickly turn tricky. Each puzzle is provided with hints and solutions. This book is an excellent way to test and expand your problems solving ability. This is an example of the type of puzzles you will find in this book: Nick and Dave were just leaving work at an ambulance dispatcher station. "We're off tomorrow, right?" said Nick "Right", replied Dave. "What do you say we meet in the shopping center parking lot", suggested Nick. "Get in the car I just bought and head out to the lake?". "Let's do that" agreed Dave. Nick had just bought a used car, which he mentioned to Dave, but without describing it in any way. It had license plates tat were unfamiliar to Dave and were not new. It had not parking stickers or other identifying marks of any kind. Nevertheless, Dave identified it easily when he drove to the shopping center parking lot. How? If you find the problem hiding behind this little story to be interesting, then this book is for you.
