What problem was worse than being trapped in the quicksand? 85. Flying Saucers - Advanced Problem In the 1960’s, a man observed three silver discs above a wooded area in the night sky. They moved from left to right above the woods and then disappeared. The next night, he observed two silver discs above the woods move in the same way and then they disappeared. On the third night, he observed a single disc above the woods move across the night sky from left to right and then it disappeared. Can you explain these phenomena?

[Karen Uhlich]

This book is terrible! The idea that there is a single solution to many of these problems is ridiculous. Many of them don't have enough information available to determine the "correct" answer. There's one about landing an airplane, not on dirt, concrete, etc. The question says nothing about water, so that could be the answer, but the author says the answer is the plane was landed on the back of a truck. How are a bunch of kids supposed to come up with that? If the author had suggested that some of his questions had more than one possible answer and made it clear that we could look for several possibilities, then the book would be OK. Maybe even somewhat fun to read/do. But expecting someone to come up with specific answers to non-specific questions is just dumb.

Not really what expected

I was expecting riddle and problem solving--like the squares. But several of the question were beyond dumb--like the 50 marathons and the ant at the empire state building. More were useless than useful. But it was free and I have space on my tablet, so did not delete it.
