The Two-Minute Puzzle Book

Nine themed chapters bring together match, tangram, paper, geometric and mathematical puzzles, alongside riddles and other challenges. The book’s organizing idea is to look for a shortcut or a fresh way to frame a problem: some puzzles may appear to demand more time, while the source describes them as having quicker routes to a solution. Classic puzzle forms sit alongside material presented as new, making the collection varied in both format and approach. Its emphasis on spotting patterns, reframing questions and finding alternate paths gives the puzzles a shared thread beyond simply reaching an answer.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adults who enjoy puzzles and brain-teasers across several formats.
  • For puzzle fans interested in shortcuts, lateral thinking and themed collections.

Book overview

LEARN SHORTCUTS Many of the puzzles will seem as though they will take longer than two minutes to solve, but ... there are shortcuts if you can find them!! There are faster ways to solve each problem and dilemma. The Two-Minute Puzzle Book will teach you to look for such loopholes and shortcuts!

ENGAGING THEMATIC PUZZLES From Chapter One's "The One and Only" through Chapter Nine's "The Whole Nine Yards", each chapter contains puzzles related to the chapter's theme. For example, in the second chapter, you will find mechanical puzzles with double pieces, riddles about couples, line puzzles and more.

There are match puzzles, tangram-related puzzles, paper puzzles, geometric puzzles and mathematical puzzles to tease and occupy all types of puzzlists. Some require intuition but all are two minutes away from a solution.

UNIQUE CHALLENGES As with their previous puzzle books, the authors, David Goodman and Ilan Garibi, aim to provide a fresh and original book. Many of the puzzles are coming from their heads and are not retreads!! There are some classic puzzles too, but the authors present them in an original way.

CULTIVATE YOUR BRAIN TO THINK CREATIVELY Crack open this book and allow the puzzles presented to train your brain. Always look for a bypass or shortcut. Find a different point of view. By rephrasing the question, a solution may surface!

We hope that this book will tickle your imagination and sharpen your mind. You just might begin to solve everyday "real-world" problems differently. FLEX YOUR BRAIN.
