I teach middle school aged gifted students. We use mind benders as a break from our usual projects in class. The students really like the challenge and they learn some great skills in deductive reasoning through using the clues and logic matrices. The "C" series is the most difficult. If you are planning to use these with younger children and/or those new to solving logic puzzles, I suggest you start with the "A" or "B" series by the same author. Answers and explanations for solutions are included in the back of the book.Something I did not realize when I began to use these books is the naming scheme. Series within the same letter are of the same difficulty level but the problems within each book increase in challenge as the puzzles progress. The C1 book is not any easier than the C2 or C3 books, it's just a different set of problems to solve at the "C" level.
