  <abstract>Smart solvers will have a blast putting together jigsaw-style pieces to create larger shapes, decoding cryptograms to reveal a secret message, and investigating optical illusions. With futoshiki to tackle, wickedly difficult mazes to weave through, and loads of wordplay, this compilation offers hours of satisfaction.
