Lateral thinking encourages us to solve problems in non-standard ways. This is a collection of several hundred puzzles that lend themselves to this type of thinking. This would be a great book to take along on a long car trip. I like the previous reviewer's suggestion of putting up the puzzle of the day on his (her?) whiteboard at work. Or a teacher on the blackboard. It would be a great way to keep the students awake...not necessarily concentrating on the lesson though!

For a while, everyone at work looked forward to the lateral thinking problems I put on my board. This book had an interesting selection of varying difficulty. ( )
