A bumper edtion of the hottest puzzles around.
Sudoku is a hybrid: its name derives from Japanese (loosely translated it means 'number in allotted place') and its form can be traced back to the magic squares invented in 18th century Switzerland. The result is a numerical brainteaser that is fiendish, compulsive, and, in the simplicity of its rules, 'sublimely beautiful'. This collection is perfectly pitched to enthrall children from the age of 8 upwards. This book contains 72 sudoku puzzles divided into 4 levels of difficulty ranging from very gentle to tough.
Following the summer of Sudoku, Kakuro is the next big Japanese puzzle craze to sweep the nation and this wonderful book is packed with puzzles especially desinged for kids. It contains clear instructions, tips and number combination tables and 70 brand-new puzzles and solutions.
'It's the latest craze in games, but there isn't a computer graphic in sight . . . addicts are as obsessed as 1980s teenagers fixated on the Rubik's Cube' BBC News
