The puzzles are oversized, colorful, graphically arresting— eye-candy—but also challenging. The underlying puzzles are handcrafted by an expert; unlike computer-generated Sudoku, these puzzles draw in the user with symmetry, elegance, and surprise and give the effect and deep satisfaction of matching wits with a master. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut then comes the twist: Instead of traditional numbers, the boxes are filled by: clock faces, with the hands pointing from one o’clock to nine o’clock; dominoes, with dots to fill in; box score graphics from a baseball game (players one through nine, of course); plus Roman numerals, playing cards, human hands signing numbers, Japanese characters, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe puzzles have to be translated, from number to symbol, for a smart and stunning visual challenge. The puzzles are rated Easy to Hard, and solutions are printed in the back.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780761165798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Workman Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40868965613774,"sku":"9780761165798","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_d82d0bbd-8e41-43a9-ae40-c84e93c066ff.jpg?v=1644224285","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780761165798","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
