This calendar is full of a variety of puzzles with different levels of difficulty. I usually don't find that they are too easy, but they don't take long to figure out so you can just spend a few minutes working on it in the morning. I keep it on my desk at work for when I need to clear my mind. It's fun!Update now that I have seen two months of puzzles:I wish there were slightly more math puzzles, but I still get excited to flip the page when I get into work in the morning. There are a few word puzzles and pop-culture references that are "you know it or you don't," so I don't have as much fun on those when I have to look at the answers, but if that happens I just do one of the weekend puzzles (since I keep it at work and only see it Mon-Fri) and I am happy. Still a great buy, and most of the puzzles can be figured out with analytical skills or just learning a new vocabulary word.
I try to buy this particular calendar very year for my husband as one of his Christmas gifts.He really enjoys this one best of any other brain teaser/puzzle calendar.Every once in a while they are sold out and I've had to try others and he usually is a bit disappointedand continues to rave that the Mensa one is the best!
We buy one every year to help us wake up in the morning. It works. Most puzzles can be worked out, and only a few are too obscure, or require specialized knowledge. Great "brain-awakener".
This is my second time purchasing this calendar. I bought it last year as a Christmas gift for my dad, and had to buy another this year at his request. He is not an easy person to shop for, but absolutely raves about these puzzles. He enjoys crosswords, sudoku, and most any logic puzzle. This calendar provides a great mix of puzzles and problems, which are quick enough to do each day, but still challenging. I would also like to mention that I've purchased many page a day calendars in the past, and that this calendar has an exceptionally strong construction. I am not at all concerned that it will come loose from its backing.
We've bought this a couple times, but are a bit disappointed this year. There have been at least half a dozen pages where the answers are actually wrong. By that I don't mean that I just disagreed with their answer, but rather that they had the completely wrong answer. For example one of the "burnt matches" answers wasn't even the same picture as the actual puzzle. It is obvious nobody proofread an actual printed deck.
These brain teasers are actually tricky! Definitely gets me thinking first thing in the morning. It's fun and I am a huge fan of the tear away calendars. Worth the price for a year filled with brain puzzles!
Overall this is a fun calendar. The complaint that I have is how long it takes to do each puzzle. I wanted something a little more quick due to the work environment I am in, and sometimes these are just too time consuming. However, the puzzles are fun and stimulating!
About half of the puzzles require popular culture knowledge such as famous people, movie titles, etc. If you aren't familiar with the movie title or the famous person's name, you can't solve the puzzle.As I was looking for logical puzzles, I find this to be rather disappointing. If I wanted a puzzle requiring cultural knowledge, I'd do the newspaper crossword. The logical puzzles are mostly fine.
