Colorful Puzzles for Wise Eyes

By Keith Kay

You can't always trust your eyes, but you can trust pictures like these to deliver hours of fun: Is that a rabbit--or a duck? An abstract design? Look closely and see a face. Find the king hidden in his castle. The watch seems normal...but is it? There are also riddles, number tricks, word games (nearly 200 puzzles in all) each with its own eye-teasing color illustration. What can you put in a glass bottle, but never take out of it? What type of cheese is made backwards? Can you rearrange the letters of NEW DOOR to spell one word? Answers: a crack, EDAM (MADE backwards), and yes, NEW DOOR can be rearranged to spell ONE WORD.

Customer Reviews

New and old alike

If you don't look inside, you might think these are optical illusions or puzzles for the eyes only. There are a few of these, but mostly there are wonderfully entertaining word and number puzzles. There are some classics, but many I have never seen before. The puzzles are of the type that an experienced puzzler (one who is used to thinking outside the box) will find them quite challenging, but not hard enough to give up. Sterling puzzle books are all a great buy, and this one is an exceptional buy. There are hours and hours worth of puzzles and you will enjoy sharing them with your children, friends, students, etc. even after you have solved them yourself.

Colorful Puzzles for Wise Eyes

This novel book has lots of very colorful puzzles and has kept my children entertained and amused for days. Our children have tried to mystify my husband and I with many of the "trick" questions, they laughed when we tried some of the tongue twisters. There were a number of Optical Illusions, some are obvious and others are hidden. This really is a fun book with lots of attractive art work. Lots of puzzles (answers are provided at the back of the book) It's suitable for children ages 9-12, but I am sure adults will have just as much fun as we had. This is a handy book to have if you are planning a party or quiz night.
