Once again I'm attracted to these mind-twister puzzles by the Grabarchuk Family. The format is simple: read the question and click on your answer choice. If right, your answer is validated and explained. If wrong, you're invited to try again.The puzzles are quick and fun for my family to do together. Each of these visual puzzles tweaks the brain. The ones that are rated the easiest at 1-star are the most fun for the kids, and I like challenging them to see who can solve fastest. It's really helping them learn to think laterally!As for me, I enjoy working on the 4-star puzzles the most (they go from 1 to 5 stars). I can lose myself in 10 minutes of counting triangles to answer the question of "How many triangles of any size and orientation can I find in the sun image?" or figuring out the next logical symbol in a series of seemingly random symbols. However, I'm perhaps too mentally pooped to spend much energy on the 5-star challenges. They are seriously challenging!  If you have the kind of mind that enjoys mental calisthenics, then this is a wonderful "toy" for you to have in your online reading library.
