Review
Although this new type of puzzle is a little more "mathy" than most, it is super fun. They start off relatively straightforward (as do most puzzles) and then slowly start to increase in difficulty. It really does help if you have a mathematical mind as you are obviously dealing with some basic geometry concepts.But, when the solution becomes clear, it is extremely satisfying to see how elegant it really is. As the instructions state, you should not have the need to use a calculator. So you have to change your way of thinking and go outside the box as they say.Sometimes, you just have to stare at the diagram for a while or just put the book down and return later. I found that often, something that you have stared at for an hour becomes obvious when you set the book down for a day and return to it.Great little diversion and well worth the price.
