Features: Pierre Bellocq, a clever young Frenchman, was born in Tours in 1939 and graduated from the école Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris in 1962. His education as an operations researcher gave him a strong background in mathematics and logical thinking. Bellocq has published works such as Various Games (board games), Tarot Card Games, Test Your Intelligence, 100 Card Solitaire Games, and A Recollection of évariste Galois's Childhood among others. This book is one of four paperbacks he translated himself into English. These four books, published in Paris in 1973, became wildly popular in France and Italy. This book focuses solely on geometric puzzles, while the other three include problems related to numbers, logic, and letters. The illustrator of these four books, Denis Dugas, is an old friend of the author... The book contains 100 puzzles, including titles such as All in Concert, Intricate, Distinctive, The Snail, All in Concert Again, The Treasure Horse, Five Symbols, and more.
