Mind-Bending Classic Logic Puzzles composed by Jenny Lynch

























Do you like a challenge? Or maybe you are after some additional practise for Naplan? Maybe you just enjoy the challenge of solving logic puzzles. This little book has a wide variety of mathematical problems for you to solve. The answers are all in the back of the book so you can check your progress or challenge a friend. The money problems are in pounds but that doesn't really detract from the challenges and these only comprise a small ratio of the book at any rate. This book is also a good way to improve your comprehension of written mathematical questions. Some are easy whilst others may require a concerted effort. Each puzzle comes with an interesting and sometimes striking illustration.
