"Great Lateral Thinking Puzzles" by Paul Sloane and Des MacHale is a book of puzzles consisting of strange sounding situations drawn from real life. The puzzles have a logical explanation that readers have to figure out. There are four groups of puzzles: Tempting Puzzles; Intriguing Puzzles; Grisly Puzzles; and Diabolical Puzzles. The easiest puzzles are in the Tempting Puzzles section and the Diabolical section has the most difficult puzzles. The grisly puzzles all feature deaths, accidents, or mutilations. After the puzzle section is the clue section, which contains either hints or yes or no questions for each puzzle. After the clue section is the answer section. There are also two WALLY tests (World Association for Laughter, Learning, and Youth) (one easy and the other more difficult) which are trick questions designed to fool readers.

Stretch your mental powers and become an IQ wizard. Stimulating and fun, these logic puzzles, mind-benders, mathematical teasers, and conundrums are a must-have for anyone serious about reaching his or her full potential. And they're compiled by two of MENSA's leading puzzle editors who really know something about giving the brain a workout. Each of the 20 sections contains 25 puzzles; no specialist knowledge is required to answer the questions, and hard and easy ones are randomly mixed. Solve them using standard mathematical or alphabetical calculations. (Some tables up front--including a multiplication table and lists of square, cube, and prime numbers--offer a little extra help for those in need.)
So start using that gray matter to its fullest and watch in amazement as your IQ soars to exceptional heights.
