Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It's amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes. The State of Utah earned the nickname of "the crossroads of the West" because so many people journeyed through it on their way to California, Oregon, or elsewhere. It's dry climate and high Rocky Mountains helps it produce powdery snow that's ideal for skiing and giving rise to the claim of "the greatest snow on earth!" Utah was settled by pioneers and is home to a host of interesting sites and activities. With over 11,000 miles of rivers and streams, plenty of trails through mountains and valleys, and awe-inspiring sandstone cliffs, arches, hoodoo, and slot canyons, there is plenty to see and do. This book pays tribute to many of these with original designs that will surely both puzzle and delight. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical puzzles to solve. The book is arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books in this series are essentially the same, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique. Most of the puzzles have been designed by the author, Doug Nufer. This book series was featured on the NewsWatch TV program on Discovery Channel: http://newswatchtv.com/2015/12/18/tangram-fury Go on! What are you waiting for? Give it a try! You just might get hooked...
