Win The
World's Biggest Puzzle Book
by Charles Barry Townsend
They'll
amaze, baffle, and challenge you! These puzzles aren't for the faint of
heart, or the wimp who wants it easy. And there are hundreds of these
devious dilemmas to drive your mind to its limits. Some use numbers,
others logic, and still more are word games. And, each comes with an
amusing drawing, too. Ready to have your brain teased? Then try this:
arrange 15 matchsticks on the table so they form 8 complete squares, all
the same size. No matches may be overlapped or broken, and no square may
be formed inside another. Or, give this a shot: It's high noon in Dodge
City and two gunslingers are ready to draw. Here's the highfalutin'
language they use:
""Draw, O Coward!"", ""Live not on evil.""
Can you figure out what's strange about those lines? If you guessed
they're palindromes (phrases that spell the same thing forwards and
backwards), you're the winner! |
