Classic Brainteasers

by Martin Gardner, Jeff Sinclair (Illustrator)

"From math, science, and logic puzzlers to word games to whats-wrong-with-this-picture challenges. Cartoon illustrations give the book pick-me-up appeal, but its the games themselves that will keep readers going as they match wits with Gardner, challenge their friends, or simply read along and look up the answers in the back."-- Booklist.

96 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 1994

Not nearly as clever or complicated as I hoped. Way too wordy for ESL kids too. Oh well...the search is still on.
