Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
Imagine how aliens might test your intelligence. Certainly not with the same tests you took in school. They might give you something like this book--if they were extremely cool aliens. Clifford Pickover uses the storyline of an alien intelligence test to deliver one of the most refreshing puzzle books in years. You'll be tested on logic and general knowledge in most unexpected ways. Alongside the games are thought-provoking quotes pertaining to alien contact, the nature of reality, and our own knowledge of the universe. The result is a game book that's a little eerie, very witty, and utterly addictive.

Designed to appeal to the legions of X-Files and Dark Skies fans--this puzzle book employs a unique storyline that makes it irresistible to all extraterrestrial buffs and offers an intriguing challenge: How would we fare if aliens put our intelligence to the test? Line drawings.
