Fairly routine collection if you are a puzzle addict, still, they will exercise your mental muscles

The puzzles in this book have a format that will be familiar to all who have engaged in puzzle solving. Some of the types are: *) Crossnumber puzzles *) Logic puzzles *) Arithmetic operations where blanks must be filled in *) Liars and truth tellers I spent a large amount of time working through many of the puzzles. For some of them, the solution was almost immediate, yet for others I ground away at it for some time. None of them are extremely difficult; all can be solved with persistence and dedication, although in most cases a scratch pad is essential. Solutions to all 102 of the puzzles are included at the end.
