They range from a centaur to a painter to a dog in a hat to a table to very odd designs and, as the subtitle says, so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew Edition: \u003c\/b\u003e The contents of this book have been updated to include a grid for solving the puzzles inside the book. The puzzles range in difficulty throughout the book. Some are more challenging than others. All puzzles have solutions using the same 7 tans (shapes). The puzzles can be solved by drawing on the grid, or by using the tangram template provided in the book to make physical tangram pieces (tans).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote that the printed version of the book has the solutions in grayscale (black and white). Only the electronic version of the book has the solutions in color.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTangrams 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical Christmas-theme puzzles to solve, and their solutions, and the activities. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. (Can you solve the unsolvable \"Mad Hatter\" tangram created by Lewis Carroll?) It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books are largely the same in all books in the series, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book series was featured on the NewsWatch TV program on Discovery Channel: http: \/\/newswatchtv.com\/2015\/12\/18\/tangram-fury\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurely you can solve all of these, after all, we're counting on you\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Nufer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514302985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514302989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doug Nufer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939934535935,"sku":"9781514302989","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79f12965-86e1-49ee-82cf-5e410229d732.jpg?v=1681444323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tangram-fury-numbers-book-doug-nufer-9781514302989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
