The Dell Book of Logic Problems, Number 6

If you're looking for a book strictly dedicated to logic problems in which charts are used to work out solutions (i.e. 5 people with 5 jobs wearing 5 shirt colors - figure out who does what job wearing what shirt), this book is for you. I was ecstatic to finally find a book that exclusively had these types of puzzles as I've been oftentimes disappointed by puzzle/game books, which had maybe 3 or 4 of these types of puzzles amongst a myriad of highly lame other types. These 75 puzzles will keep you plenty busy and are a reliable go-to for entertainment and hearty brain exercise.

I've been into Dell Crosswords and Especially Logic Problems since I was 16; my father's word puzzle love facilitated my addiction.I use a logic problem to lull me to sleep every evening. Yearly I upgrade my thesaurus for the latest, and more wordly edition to keep up with the curves thrown by the international crosswords. Try to keep my mind a step above the "rust".Back in my Trig and Calc days, they drilled into me the need to constantly write down known variables, and chart info, to keep track of your formulas and progress in solving a problem. Logic Problems reinforce this practice.I've got my kid thinking in charts with his schoolwork, especially homework.

I have always loved logic problems better than any other puzzles. This book definitely delivers some hefty problems. Though it contains only 75 of them, each are involved enough to keep you working on each one for a good while. The only drawback is that the answer section in the back does not have charts. I would have like to seen a graph to quickly see if I'm right or not. Though, each problem does have a talk through section and a concise summary of answers.Overall, each problem is challenging and has a variety of subjects to keep you involved with it. If you like logic problems, I highly recommend this. It's definitely worth it.

In my capacity as a teacher, I want students to have practice THINKING..and this is what logic puzzles such as the ones here provide. This book includes the organizational charts, the solution to the puzzles, as well as an explanation for the solutions. It would be excellent if they would include the answer in chart form as well. (I translate these for foreign language classes..the language is simple enough for a beginning level class. Very challenging !
