his is the ultimate test for puzzle enthusiasts—the one that will boggle your
mind as it entertains you for days on end.
Use it or lose it! You exercise to stay in good physical shape, but your mind
needs a workout, too. Keep it sharp by stretching it out on some crosswords
that were originally printed in the ’50s and ’60s. How would you answer this
clue: Tennessee Senator? GORE is the answer, but it’s Gore Sr., not Jr.! Do you
dare to discover how smart you really are? If so, take the treacherous IQ tests
here. They’re all timed—you get only an hour to find synonyms, fill in missing
words, make logical comparisons, complete equations, and tease out
numerical progressions.
See if you’re a genius at math and logic. Start by following twisting paths
made by worms crawling across triangular girds. Then forecast a storm brew¬
ing by spotting cloud patterns in a numbered diagram. Sharpen your wits on
lateral and critical thinking puzzles. Some are old favorites that have baffled
people for years. Several are presented in their time-tested way. Most of the
standards, however, have a new twist or updated story added. Other puzzles
require some inventive solutions, so don’t be afraid to be creative. Good luck!

 INTRODUCTION

Th is last section harks back to the 1950s and 1960s, as did the first
section. Remember, in those simpler times there were no cell phones,
no e-mail, and no music videos. And back then, crosswords tested
your knowledge of words. To solve them, you didn't need to know the
names of minor pop stars or second-string baseball players. You just
needed a big vocabulary and the ability to recall classical knowledge.
The puzzles are from magazines that originally appeared during this
era, and none of the clues have been updated.

So when you encounter the clue "Mr. Murphy of the movies," you
need to fill in AUDIE, not EDDIE. For "Tennessee Senator," the answer
is GORE, but it's referring to Al Gore, Sr., not the recent vice presi¬
dent. "Actress Barrymore" is answered with ETHEL, not DREW. The
clue "They will explore space" uses the future tense, since ASTRO¬
NAUTS hadn't yet gone up in rockets.

Despite not having any modern trivia in them, these puzzles are still
quite tough. You'll definitely be exercising your mind when you solve
them. But we bet that the workout you get from solving them will be a
lot more fun than any workout you've done at the gym!

CHALLENGING
 An intelligence test (IQ test) is a standardized test designed to measure human intelli¬
gence as distinct from attainments. What IQ tests do not measure, nor are they intend¬
ed to measure, are ambition, personality, temperament, or compassion. IQ tests are
used in educational settings to assess the individual and to improve instruction and
curriculum planning, and they have become commonplace in industrial and organiza¬
tional settings for selection and classification.
The tests in this book are specially compiled to provide fun and entertainment
to those who take them. At the same time, the questions are designed to be similar in
format to those you are likely to encounter in IQ tests. People who perform well on them
are likely to do well on actual IQ tests. Because they have been specially compiled for
this publication, the tests are not standardized and, therefore, an actual IQ score can¬
not be given. Nevertheless, we do provide an approximate guide to performance on
each test for those of you who may wish to exercise your competitive instincts, and we
also provide a time limit for those of you wishing to try the tests against the clock.
You will find many of the questions challenging, and deliberately so, as this is the
only way to improve your mind and boost your performance. Each test consists of twen¬
ty questions and there are twenty separate tests to attempt, each of approximately the
same difficulty level. If you decide to time yourself, don’t spend too much time on any
one question. If in doubt, skip it and return to it later using the time remaining. If
options are given and you aren’t sure of the answer, take an educated guess. Who
knows? It may be the correct answer!
But what if you score badly on the tests? Well, you shouldn’t worry! Cynics will
say that the only thing having a high IQ proves is that the individual has scored well on
an IQ test. The real point of this book is that you will have given your brain what we
hope will prove to be an enjoyable workout, and as a result you will have increased your
store of knowledge and your brainpower. It’s your choice, but whichever way you
choose to use the book, have fun, enjoy the questions, and happy solving!

INTRODUCTION
84
 If you’ve never taken an IQ test before, it’s really quite easy. Answer each question
with the simplest, best answer possible. You shouldn’t strive for unusual interpretations of
the questions or try to make them more complicated than they are. All of the questions are
self-explanatory except for the analogies. These classic IQ question-types appear in the for
“A: B :: C : D” and mean “A is to B as C is to D.” You have to find the choice where the rela¬
tionship of C to D is the same as that of A to B.

 Lighthouses
There are ten ships hidden in each grid. Each ship occupies one of the squares
in the grid. Lighthouses, which are numbered squares, have been placed in
the grid. No ship can be adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to
another ship or a lighthouse. The number in each lighthouse is the total num¬
ber of ships seen in the row and column that the lighthouse illuminates (ships
do not “block’ other ships from being seen; that is, all ships in the row and
column of the lighthouse are “seen.”) Ships can’t occupy spaces with water
(wavy lines). Armed with this information, can you locate all of the ships?

 Hex Loops
Find a path that travels from hexagon to hexagon, ends where it started, and
never touches or crosses itself. The path can only pass from one hexagon to
another if they share a side, and the path may not make a “sharp” turn of 60°.
d he numbers placed in some of the hexagons indicate the number of adjacent
hexagons through which the path passes. The path cannot pass through a
numbered hexagon.

 Square Routes
Each of the grids below contains a path that passes through every square
exactly once, ends where it begins, and never crosses itself. The path travels
horizontally and vertically but not diagonally. The path must also make a
right-angled turn whenever it crosses through a light gray square, and must
continue straight when it passes through a dark gray square. Can you deduce
what the path is for each grid?

 Battleships

Your job is to find the fleet of ships hidden in each of the grids below. Each
fleet consists of one four-segment battleship, two three-segment cruisers,
three two-segment destroyers, and four one-segment submarines. A picture of
the fleet is shown in the example; note that submarines are round, the end
segments of the other ships are rounded off on one end, and the center seg¬
ments of the other ships are flat on all sides.
Ships are located entirely within the grid, with one grid space taken up for
each ship segment. Ships are oriented horizontally or vertically and no ship
touches another, even diagonally.
The numbers along the edges of the grids indicate how many ship segments
are in that row or column. Missing numbers are for you to determine. A few
ship segments are shown. In addition, some grid spaces are shown as water;
these spaces will not contain a ship segment.
Lighthouses variant (puzzles 7 to 12): There are no guide numbers along
the edges. Rather, numbers within grid spaces indicate the total number of
ship segments found in the same row and the same column as that grid space.
Ships cannot be adjacent to the numbered grid spaces.
Minesweeper variant (puzzles 13 to 18): There are no guide numbers along
the edges. Rather, numbers within grid spaces indicate the number of ship
segments adjacent to that space horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
Numbered grid spaces cannot contain ships.

 Number Place
In each 6x6 diagram, place the numbers 1 through 6 so that each row, col¬
umn, and six-square subsection (there are six of them, separated by thick
black lines) contains each number exactly once. Some numbers have already
been placed in the diagram for you.
As the diagrams get bigger, the group of numbers to place gets bigger (l
through 7 in puzzle 3, 1 through 8 in puzzles 4 to 9, and 1 through 9 in the
remaining puzzles), and the number and size of the subsections increase
accordingly. Each digit will still appear exactly once in each row, column, and
subsection.

 Alternate Corners
Your object is to find a path that passes through every square exactly once,
ends in the same square it begins, and never crosses itself. The path travels
horizontally and vertically but never diagonally. Every other turn you make
in the path will be in a square containing a circle, and you must make a turn
in every square that contains a circle.

 Rain Clouds
There is a storm brewing in the grids below and you need to find all of the
ram clouds in each. The numbers along the edges of the diagram indicate how
many squares in that row or column contain a portion of a rain cloud. All the
rain clouds are shaped like rounded squares or rounded rectangles and are at
least two squares wide and two squares tall. Furthermore, no rain cloud is
adjacent to another horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
There are several kinds of starting hints in the diagrams below: a rounded
cornei of a cloud, a non-rounded piece that can be either an edge piece or an
internal piece of a cloud, or wavy lines, which are not part of any rain cloud.

 Square Numbers
There are some squares to be drawn in the grids below. All of the squares
have each of their four corners in the center of a grid square and sides all par¬
allel to the grid’s sides. Exactly one corner will be in a grid square that con¬
tains a number. That number tells you how many other numbers can be
found inside the square.
I he squares may cross through perpendicular sides only and cannot touch
anywhere else.

Each diagram should contain a path that travels from dot to dot, horizontally
and vertically only, and ends where it began, never touching or crossing itself.
The numbers that have been placed in the diagram tell you how many of the
four sides of the “square” it lies in are used for the path. (The path doesn t
necessarily need to touch all of the dots.) Your task is to find this path.

 Snaky Tiles
The grids below have been divided up into a number of distinct tiles, and the
divisions are all made along grid lines. Each tile is “snakelike” in structure: it
is one square wide from end to end and never branches off. The tiles also never
touch themselves, even diagonally. In addition, each tile contains within it two
nonadjacent squares with the number equal to its length. Your job is to dis¬
cover how the grids have been dissected.

 Cross Sums
This is like a crossword puzzle, but with numbers. There will be one digit in
each of the white squares instead of one letter. The clue number for a hori¬
zontal group of digits is to the left of the group and above the diagonal division,
and for a vertical group of digits it is above the group and below the diagonal
division.
The clue number is the sum of the digits in its corresponding group. Only
the digits 1 through 9 are used, and no digit may be repeated within a group.
Variation 1 (puzzles 5 and 6): The instructions are the same as for regular
Cross Sums, except each answer group must contain exactly one pair of
matching digits.

Place the letters A through C into the diagram so that every letter appears
exactly once in each row and column. The letters around the edge of the dia¬
gram indicate the first letter that can be found by reading the appropriate row
or column, beginning at that outside letter.
In later diagrams, larger sets of letters are used (A through D in puzzles 11
to 20, A through E in puzzles 21 to 25, and A through F in puzzles 26 to 30).

 Skyscrapers
Each of the squares in the grids below contains a building that has anywhere
from one to five stories. There will be one building of every possible height in
each row and column. The numbers along the edges of the diagram indicate
the number of buildings that can be seen from that point looking in. Your job
is to find the height of each building. Remember, when looking into the grid,
taller buildings block your view of shorter buildings.
In later diagrams, larger groups of buildings (1 through 6 stories in puzzles
3 to 6, 1 through 7 stories in puzzles 7 and 8) must be placed.
The example shows a group of buildings from one to four stories.

At right is a side view of a possible row in a

Skyscrapers puzzle. From the left side, three buildings
would be seen: 2, 4, and 6. Building 1 is hidden behind
Building 2, and Buildings 3 and 5 are blocked by
Building 6. From the right side, only two buildings are
seen: 5 and 6. Building 3 is hidden behind Building 5,
and Building 6 blocks Buildings 4, 1, and 2.

 Dominoes
For the beginning puzzles, a full set of double-6 dominoes (28 total dominoes)
has been laid out in each diagram, and the edges of each domino have been
removed. Replace all the edges to show the location of each individual domino.
Every diagram has a unique solution.
In later diagrams, full sets of double-9 dominoes (55 total) and double-12
dominoes (91 total) are used. Checkoff lists for all sets are provided.

 Critical Thinking
Puzzles
When we think critically we are engaging in intellectual strategies to probe the
basic nature of a problem, situation, or puzzle. By these strategies, we mean
making observations, predictions, generalizations, reasonings by assumptions,
comparisons and contrasts, uncovering relationships between the parts to the
whole, and looking for sequences. It sounds like a lot, but everyone has these
skills and the puzzles in this book are designed to challenge, exercise, and
stretch the way you interpret the world.

Y ◄ ATM ATM A Y ◄ ATM

Some of the puzzles here are old favorites that have entertained people for
years. Several of them are presented in their time-tested way. Most of the
standards, however, have a new twist or updated story added. Other puzzles
require some inventive solutions, so don’t be afraid to be creative. Most of
them can be done with pencil or pen.

Y M ATM ATM ATM ATM

Some require inexpensive material that can probably be found around the
house: a pair of scissors, markers, tape, toothpicks, and a yardstick. Even
though some puzzles can be solved using algebra, they were selected for their
ability to be visualized and figured out this way. Therefore, in addition to
being fun to do, they offer an arena to practice thinking skills.

204
Statements such as ”1 want you to memorize this list!” or ’’That’s a good
answer, but it wasn’t the one I expected” help to extinguish critical thought.
Although you’ll never have to measure an ant’s path or alter a flag, the process
of creating and evaluating a reasonable answer is a worthwhile experience. By
the time you finish this book, those powerful skills will be back on track, prob¬
ing your everyday experiences for a more thorough and deeper understanding.

 Coin Roll
Run your fingernail around the rim of a
dime or quarter and you’ll feel a series
of small ridges. These ridges appeared
on coins hundreds of years ago. At that
time, many coins were made out of sil¬
ver and other valuable metals. To pre¬
vent people from “shaving” the metal
from the edge of the coin (and selling
the metal shavings), telltale ridges were
added to the coin’s rim. If a coin’s edge
was cut away, the telltale ridges would
be lost.
In this problem, we’ll use those
ridges to prevent the coins from slip¬
ping. Consider two dimes within a track
formed by parallel chopsticks. Although
the coins can move, their snug fit makes
both coins move at the same time.
Therefore, if we were to rotate one of

 Cool Cut Melt Down
Unlike most liquids, water freezes into a
solid that is less dense than its former liq¬
uid state. Since it is less dense, ice floats in
water. At the surface, the ice acts as an
insulator to help trap heat within the water
below. This layer of frozen insulation actu¬
ally insulates lakes, rivers, ponds, and
oceans from freezing into a complete solid.
Now let’s bring this information
back to the kitchen. An ice cube floats
freely in a glass fdled to the brim with
water. Will the water level rise or sink as
the ice cube melts?

Answer on page 310.

Shut your eyes and try to imagine a per¬
fect ice cube. If you’re good at visualizing,
you may be able to “see” the edges and
faces that are positioned on the far side of
the cube. Good. Now, here’s the challenge.
With one cut, how can you divide this

 Mobius Strip
Here is one the strangest loops you’ll ever see. It’s called a Mobius strip in honor of the
German mathematician who first investigated its properties.
To build a Mobius strip, you need a strip of paper about 1 inch wide and 10 inches
long. Coil the paper into a simple loop. Then put a single twist in the loop before securing
the ends together with a piece of tape. Use a marker to color one side of the strip red and
the other side blue. You’ll soon discover that this loop has only one side!
Mobius strips are used in manufacturing. Many machines have belts that are used to
connect different spinning parts. By using a belt sewn into a Mobius strip, the belt wears
evenly on both sides.
Suppose you divide right down the middle of the Mobius strip. What shape would you get?
Make a guess; then use a pair of scissors to carefully divide the strip.

Head Count

The wheel with the centrally placed lead

reflects a property of physics that ice

adjusted by altering his or her distribu¬

spinning skater slows. As the arms draw
in, the spin accelerates.
