FOREWORD

Most people are content to go through life with their brain

ticking over at a mere fraction of its true capacity. This
book is not for them. Our intention is to present a mind
workout that will bend, stretch, and squeeze your mental
powers to the very limit.

We start with some I.Q. development tests. Everyone has

some level of intelligence. It is formed very early in life and
then becomes fixed so that you will never exceed that level.
However, just as you can develop your muscles with
exercise, you can make the most of your mental powers by
using them to perform increasingly difficult tasks. The
puzzles in this section start off easy but rapidly become
more challenging.

The second section of the book is concerned with quite

another type of intelligence. Solving the mind-bending
mazes we have created will take quite different skills, and
will help to develop a whole area of mental power you did
not know you possessed. We have taken traditional patterns
from all over the world and turned them into labyrinths of
fiendish complexity. If you can figure these out, you need
never get lost in a strange town again!

6
TO THE I.Q. TESTS

We have put together this series of puzzles

for your amusement. In each of the tests
the correct answer is to be found in one of
the shapes. Proceed through each test as
quickly as possible and first answer those
questions you find easiest. Then return to
the more difficult ones. Check your
answers, when the time is up, total the
correct answers and then find your fun I.Q.
score from the table.
