ماهیچه های تمرکز و تفکر نیاز به چنین تمرین هایی دارد تا هر چه بیشتر به اعماق یک مسئله رسوخ کند
ترجمه فارسی کتاب زیاد خوب نیست اشتباهات املایی هم داره که بیش از حده
خود کتاب هم کاش به جای پرداختن به تمرین ها به نوع تفکر و چگونه اندیشیدن می پرداخت
برای سن و سالهای پایین میتونه گزینه مناسبتری باشه
سن بین 15 تا 20

An oldie but a good one - even for the latest generation!

Great book to get the brain moving!

Sometimes we write a problem out in the morning, to see the creative ways our kids figure out solutions.
Great for kids and adults alike.

I think the main point of this book is to train yourself to look at problems in more ways than one - the one you're used to. It has some real puzzlers and some good ideas about how to solve them. This is easy to read but takes some real thinking (that's the point!) The puzzles and solutions keep you reading! This is a big hit in the classroom.
