Lateral Logician 300 Mind-Stretching Puzzles

These complicated conundrums provide an amazing brain workout. To solve a lateral-thinking problem you have to throw out assumptions, think out of the box, and look at the clues from a new perspective. It's all a matter of training the brain to think more creatively. Here's an example of one tricky little mystery: A foreign visitor to London wanted to ride up the escalator at the subway station, but did not do so. Why? Could you guess the reason is that he saw a sign saying "Dogs must be carried"and he didn't have a dog! At first, you may think you don't have all the information needed to arrive at the answers, but persist and you'll find the answers to them all.Sloane, Paul is the author of 'Lateral Logician 300 Mind-Stretching Puzzles', published 2004 under ISBN 9781402716843 and ISBN 1402716842.
