I absolutely loved these puzzles but I would recommend using a pencil just in case! A great way to beat boredom or procrastinate from what you should be doing! Great for anyone who loves to do word games and brain teasers. I enjoyed it a lot!

No pencils are needed for these logic and math puzzles. Instead, they will build your brain power as you figure them out. This book is great for individuals or group activities and also makes a wonderful gift for people who love this type of activity.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book provided by the publisher and Net Galley. However, the thoughts expressed are totally my own.

60-Second Brain Teasers Pencil-Free Puzzles is one of my all time favorite puzzle books! I like to take a look at these types of puzzles in the morning to wake me up, during commute, or while on planes. I loved the combination of easy to hard puzzles; there's something for every mood! Sometimes I had to abandon a puzzle and come back to it days later with a fresh mind! The colors are very distinct and unique. Kept me on my toes, for sure! This book would be a fantastic gift for anyone who likes puzzles. I'll be picking up an extra copy for my grandma who introduced me to these types of puzzles as a kid.

If I'd realised this book was part of a series that included a very weak Crime case selection for us to think over (9781592339792), I might have not downloaded it for review. But I would have missed out. A nice black 'n' white 'n' blue only design makes for a distinctive book, and the puzzles are welcome – generally enough for a furrowed brow for a short while, and some twitching of the fingers perhaps as we add and subtract, but neither childishly silly nor too complex. The aim was for teasers that didn't need writing anything down, or scrawling sums on the commuter's newspaper, and that aim was achieved. A lot of the mathematical ones do, once you've worked them out, suggest too much reliance on people not including zero as a number, but regardless, the sense of achievement from these pages is pretty high, and the frustration levels pleasantly low. I see the creator has pedigree in creating puzzle books, and writing about IQ with his own tests – it shows here in this professional timewaster. Brain trainer, I meant – brain trainer. Not timewaster, but brain trainer. Phew. Four and a half equally proportioned and shared out stars.

If you read this everything will be suddenly remind you of a puzzle, your friends will hate you. Good bunch of fun puzzles and well laid out.

This is a good book for kids, I found the brain teasers too simple and a little lame for adults. This book is not like the crime logic book. Small filers when you have nothing to do.

I love problem solving and after 6 long months with no school, thought this might be exactly what my 3 kids needed to get their brains fired up and ready to get back to school in September. As a family, we've enjoyed dipping in and out of this book over weekend breakfasts. It would be a good "car book" to use on long journeys now my kids are older - it might even make them take their earphones out briefly!

Another delightful book of brain teasers.A few decades ago I used to buy the Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games religiously, so when I saw this book come up for review, I knew I had to download it. This books is a lot of fun. I like the variety of teasers. Some are instantly obvious, others made me scratch my head.

This book would be fun for small parties, for car rides, even for audio or video chats. I plan on buying this book for my bookshelf so that I can grab it from time to time to further test my wits.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Four Winds for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

I homeschool our kids. I plan on using this book for some fun break time! I think I’ll buy a hard copy to keep in the car for long rides! It’s so fun!

Thank you to Netgalley, Nathan Haselbauer and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for the ARC of 60-Second Brain Teasers Pencil-Free Puzzles. This is my personal review in exchange for the ARC.
This book was a great way to pass time while I was waiting at the airport. Some of the puzzles were easy but others really had me thinking. This is a book that I will give for a gift!
And a big thank you for the solutions at the end of the book.

Really enjoyed this, and so convenient for when you're on the go. Some of the puzzles are fairly simple, but others really had me scratching my head

This is a good book for older teens and adults. I was hoping for younger reader section. Happy to say the answers are supplied at the end of the book. The puzzles are heavy in the areas of math and logic. It is a great gift idea for older adults that like to keep their minds active. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Short Head-Scratchers from the Easy to Near Impossible by Nathan Haselbauer in exchange for an honest review. It publishes September 15, 2020.
So brain teasers aren’t really my thing, but I wanted to try and I just am not necessarily the smartest for something like this. However, I can’t wait to try this out on my friends and family!
This will be a great conversation starter, and would definitely make a great gift!

Great fun to be had with this book. Puzzles and brain teasers.
Myself and my husband both tried these and found a mixture of difficulties which was great so some were easier than others

I read through some of these and I really enjoyed them. I wouldn't necessarily call them puzzles but it was still something fun to do during downtime at work.

These are really good for me, since I’m good at languages, but bad at math. I should be able to solve these quickly, and some of them I do, but I tend to overthink. These teasers are great to do with a few friends, as a filler when you have a bit of time, or when you simply want to tease your brain for a bit. I’m sure they are super easy for math enthusiasts, but as the title says, they are short and snappy, not meant to be hard to solve. You just need to use your brain a bit, and remember to read between the lines, and even though you might think it’s a mathematical problem to be solved, it might not be. It just might be solved with your common sense.

I think it’s a good book for people of different ages and backgrounds. Most will shine, I believe, but at times most will also be fooled.

I feel a bit let down by this book. It was advertised as logic, word, and maths puzzles, but all I found were puzzles like you used to get in math books in school, i.e. if Jimmy has 27 boxes measuring X each and his car has a total interior size of X can be fit all the boxes in his car or not etc. If you like math puzzles this is a great book for you, but if you're hoping for a bit more variety I'd go for something else. I was hoping for something a bit more like a this authors other book on crime logic puzzles but sadly it's nothing like it

I very much enjoy doing puzzles so I was excited to see this title and looked at it right away.  The author observes that these short puzzles can be solved in just a minute or two.  Well, some took me longer than that and I wish that I remembered my Algebra better but I still am enjoying them.

This is an engaging and fun book.  Anytime the reader has a bit of time, they can try to stretch their thinking skills with this one. This title could also be a good book for a car trip where the puzzles could be read aloud and solved.  They would certainly help to pass the time.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
