Prepare yourself for the ultimate test of your brain power! We’re devised over 500 IQpuzzles to stretch your logical and lateral thinking abilities to the limit.

This book has been meticulously compiled from some of the most devious puzzles you’ve seen. Some will require keen mathematical skill, others an ability to recognise abstract patterns, but all our puzzles are supremely logical and canbe solved with the right approach.

If you have a sharp mind, some of the answers to these puzzles will jump straight outof the page at you. However, others will require a bit more thought. Try not to rush foran answer straight away – have faith in your abilities and all will become clear – anddon’t feel tempted to have a peek at the answer page too soon. If you feel completelystumped by one particular puzzle, then move on and come back to it later – comingup with the solution to a later puzzle just might give you the inspiration you need!

But the idea of this book is not about right and wrong answers, it’s about exercising your mind and flexing your mental muscles. With the right approach, youtoo can discover your IQ potential.

The large variety of puzzles here are designed to test your powers of lateral thinkingand problem solving to the max! You’ll have to be able to recognize patterns and sequences, spot similarities and differences and even pick your waythrough our convoluted mindbenders. The solutions to all the puzzles in this book arestaring you right in the face – you just have to be looking at them in the right way!

So sit back, relax your body and let your brain take the strain – it’s all a matter of logic.

3 - 6Looking at the diagram in rows, the central circle equals half the sum of thenumbers in the other circles to the leftand right of the centre.

4 - 9The number at the centre of each triangle equals the sum of the lower twonumbers minus the top number.

5 - EStarting with Y and moving clockwise,letters move backwards through thealphabet in steps of 2 letters, then 3then 4 etc.

6 - 19As you move diagonally down, numbersfollow the sequence of Prime Numbers.

7 - VAs you move down the diagram, lettersmove through the alphabet in steps of 4.

8 - 16Starting bottom left and moving clock-wise around the triangle, numbers followthe sequence of Square Numbers.

9 - MWorking in rows, add together thenumerical values of the left and righthand letters to give the numerical valueof the central letter.

10 - OIn each segment of the diagram are apair of letters, one of which is the samedistance from the start of the alphabetas the other is from the end.

11 - 39Working from top to bottom, doubleeach number and subtract 1, then 2,then 3 etc.

12 - 4Working in columns, the sum of thenumbers in each column is always 14.

14 - KThe numerical values of the letters inopposite segments of the circle alwaysadd up to 17.

15 - 6The numbers in each row and columnadd up to 15.

16 - Hand pointing to 5Starting with the top clock and movinganti-clockwise around the others, thehour hand moves back 1 hour, then 2,then 3 etc, while the minute hand movesforward 10 minutes each time.

17 - 40Moving from left to right, numbersincrease by 2,3,4 and 5.

18 - KAs you move down, the numerical valueof the letters follows the sequence ofPrime Numbers.

19 - 9In each square of the diagram, the sumof the numbers is always 22.

20 - 16Moving clockwise, around alternate segments in the chain, one sequencedecreases by 1, 2, 3 and 4 each time,while the other increases by 2, 3, 4 and 5.

21 - 7Starting with the numbers in the top row,and following straight lines through thecentre of the diagram, subtract the middle number from the top number togive the corresponding value on the bottom row.

22 - AWriting each letter as its numerical valueand working in rows, add the top 2 digitnumber to the bottom 2 digit number togive the 3 digit result in the centre.

23 - 13In each circle, starting at the top leftsegment, numbers increase, as youmove clockwise, by 2 for the upper leftcircle, 3 for the upper right, 4 for thelower right and 5 for the lower left.

24 - GThe numerical values of the letters ineach row add up to 26 each time.

25 - WStarting at the top left and moving down,then right one column and up etc in asnakes and ladders pattern, lettersmove through the alphabet 4 letters at atime.

26 - 3In each group of 3 numbers, the lowernumber equals the average of the toptwo numbers.

27 - 1Reading each row as a 3 digit number,the rows follow the sequence of squarenumbers, from 17 to 19.

28 - 8,1Reading each row as 3 separate 2-digitnumbers, the central number equals theaverage of the left and right hand numbers.

29 - A:58 B:86In the first oval, all numbers are multiples of 8, and in the second, theyare all multiples of 7.
