Recenzii

A fiendish work, as frustrating, divisive and annoying as it is deeply fulfilling: the true spirit of Christmas
Surely the trickiest puzzle book in years. Crack these fiendish problems and Trivial Pursuit should be a doddle
Ideal for the crossword enthusiast
An explosion of a puzzle collection, too, with hundreds of questions and loads of peripheral material, including captioned photographs and history of twentieth-century British encryption, featuring the work of Alan Turing
This isn't your grandfather's Sudoku book. Rather, it's a puzzle compendium put together by the organisation that made the Bletchley Park breakthroughs - quizzes, bewilderments and brainteasers to challenge even the sharpest of minds
