Mensa Kakuro

What could be more appealing to Mensa members—or anyone who enjoys a good challenge—than a cunning test of intelligence and logic? That’s exactly what these 250 puzzles provide. The trick to kakuro is in making it all add up: the game begins with a grid that looks like a crossword, except that some squares contain small numbers in the corner. Fill in all the empty boxes using the numbers 1 to 9 without repeats so that the sum of each horizontal set of digits equals the number in the black triangle to its left, and the sum of each vertical set of digits equals the number in the triangle above it. The kakuro puzzles start out simple…and get more difficult as the book progresses.

5Good set of puzzles for the Kakuro fan  Dec 14, 2009
This volume and the white/green/brown/black belt series are the only volumes I've found with well crafted Kakuro puzzles. I would say the first fifty puzzles or so are on par with the green and brown belt books. The last fifty or so are similar in difficulty to the black belt book. I recommend that beginners try the white or green belt book before this one. Sudoku is purely a logic puzzle - not a number puzzle - and employs no arithmetic or math skills. Kakuro combines simple arithmetic and algebraic logic in a way that I find to be much more entertaining. This is the best all around collection I've seen for the somewhat experienced to skilled Kakuro fan.

Just finished this volume. Wish Conceptis would publish a volume 2. I found no errors in 250 puzzles. Number 170 was the toughest for me. Had to erase and start over like 2 or 3 times.

5Exactly what I was looking for  Jul 04, 2009
I was looking for puzzles that were just challenging enough, not so much that I could NEVER solve them, but enough that it took some good logic. This book of puzzles is exactly what I was looking for.

5Challenging  Mar 20, 2009
These puzzles are great. There are so many books that have small, easy puzzles. These puzzles are good size and keep you thinking.

5A tough challenge  Mar 02, 2009
I liked this book a lot. It was the first one that really slowed me down, especially the last 10 puzzles or so. However, it is really 249 puzzles because there is a repeat, and they are side by side.

5Very challenging but addictive  Feb 19, 2009
I love this book! I do one puzzle a day about 4-5 times a week. I can't wait to get to them. I find them to be captivating. My only regret is that I'm almost finished with the book and want more of the same. I hope they come out with volume 2.
