This is a fun and thought provoking book of puzzles that will entertain families for some time. They are all original. There are two versions of the puzzles. One is optimized for e-ink kindles. The other is for tablets. Both have the same contents. There is an elaborate introduction and an easy to understand instruction "How to Play the Games." The 104 puzzles are of all kinds and figures, logic, visual, counting, matchsticks, coins, and much more. The puzzles are easy to read and understand, and the solutions to them are easy to find. Each puzzle has from one to five stars indicating how difficult it is. One can go to the list of puzzles and choose which puzzle one wants to try.The following are some examples: The first, which has one star, indicating it is the easiest, shows four forms and asks which of them fits into a triangle which is shown with an empty space in its center. The third is two stared, a little harder. Seven numbers are shown with six of them having a letter next to them. The game player is asked what letter belongs to the seventh number. The eleventh with two stars shows a square with an empty space and asks which of four forms that are below it fit into the empty space. The 104th has five stars and is the hardest. Thirteen balls are shown next to each other and we are asked how many right isosceles triangles of any size and orientation we can find in the shape.
