Terry Stickels is amazing. If it took him as long to create these puzzles as it takes me to attempt to solve them, then he would never have enough to publish a book! That's the genius of his publications - they truly are a challenge to avid gamers and novices alike. I particularly like the fact that most are not solved through simple mathematical equations. Most require looking at problems in unique ways and evaluating outside of normal problem-solving methodologies. I enjoy sharing puzzles with friends and watching them flippantly give wrong answers based on the obvious. They quickly realize that correct answers require looking at the problem from several angles. Great mental exercises! I would recommend to all.

Stickels shines again in what I think are his best puzzles. This book has something for everyone--I love the wordplay, but many of my friends stop by my desk to help out with the mathmatical puzzles. I have been reading "Stickelers" in the Washington Post for some time, and this book continues the fun of his newspaper columns. I'm hoping he writes a book soon for my young nephews--it would be great to get them thinking on a higher level at an early age. Go for it, Terry!

This is a wonderful collection of Terry's STICKELERS column seen in papers across America ( KING FEATURES). It has a little something for everyone from math and logic puzzles to word games to Terry's famous spatial puzzles. This is a " must have " book, especially if you and your kids are interested in learning how to become better critical thinkers. Plus, like all Stickels' books, it's just plain fun. He's the best at what he does and this will be around for a long time.
