"What number, when you add a quarter of itself, gives fifteen?" Back in 1650BC, the scribe Ahmes commented "This is a really old puzzle". Many puzzle books tend to recycle old problems.Rosa's Puzzles, for example, has mostly 100+ year old puzzles.The Grabarchuk family has creative talent that puzzle book collectors crave.The Big, Big, Big Book of Brainteasersis the best puzzle book of the last decade.  The Grabarchuks also wroteNew Puzzle ClassicsandModern Classic Puzzlesfor Mensa, andLetsTans,Cut The Shapes, andStrimkofor Kindle apps.This is a collection of their Puzzlebook series, with100,101, and102puzzle quizzes, all collected together.  All are beautifully presented, and will give your brain a workout. Most of them deal with shapes of some sort. At the start, the puzzles are rated (*) and tend to be easy, but the (*****) challenges at the back of each book are tough.This large collection will last for awhile for anyone.  You won't find old, old problems here. Highly recommended.
