Children's 90s puzzle book with a different scenario each page.

[Merrk]

Probably a long shot, but I recall a couple of the different puzzle scenarios.

Early in the book there is a scene with a scuba diver, diving on a pirate ship wreck. He's become entangled in some ropes, and only has time to cut one rope, so you had to figure which one would free him. As well as that, you had to figure out the name of the ship by finding the missing letters, and matching them with the nail/screw holes on the side of the ship.

Another scenario was a reporter outside a hangar at an airfield, interviewing two engineers who had developed a new aeroplane or helicopter. The name of the craft was a combination of parts of the engineers names.

Those are the only ones I can recall. Each scenario was an illustrated two page spread, with numerous puzzles to solve, or things to find.

From my vague memory of the artwork, I don't think it was an Usborne book.

Hope someone can help, I'd love to track it down for my son. And myself. Thanks.

What county were you in when you read this book?
Part of a series?

In Australia. It could have been part of a series, but no idea. All I recall are the two described scenarios. Full colour double page illustrations with a new setting on each double page.
