FEATURE PUZZLESYMBOLS KEY
The Brainstorm pages throughout Quick Thinking are there to provide you with a
variety of puzzles to exercise different aspects of your mind. As well as exercising
your mind they’re entertaining and fun, not hard work.
HOW TO SOLVE – Safecracker
To open the safe, all 20 of the buttons must
be pressed in the correct order (which is
indicated by the numbers and directions
on the buttons eg 2D = Two Down) before
the ‘open’ button is pressed. What is the
first button pressed in your sequence?
(See pages 19, 35, 51 and 67).
On pages 19, 35, 51 and 67 a single
Brainstorm puzzle can be found; the same
type of puzzle will appear on each of the four
pages so you will be able to set yourself the
challenge of improving each time you solve.
Beside each of the puzzles on the
Brainstorm pages you will see an
umbrella symbol. These symbols
represent the puzzle’s level of
diffi culty. See the key below:
BREEZE (easy)Have a go at these puzzles
for a quick fi x.
GALE (medium)Why not try these puzzles for a
slightly more taxing challenge.
TYPHOON (hard)Challenge your mind with these
trickier puzzles for a great
brain workout.
NB: We have added a few quirky footnotes here and there just for fun.

Try solving this little logical problem in your head before putting pen to paper.
Three friends have booked a day at the races. From the information given, work out the name of the person, which horse each person placed a bet on and the amount of winnings each person took home.
Deborah had luck on her side as she took home the most amount of winnings – she won more than Julia who took home £50. Arctic Orchid provided one of the friends with £20 winnings. Georgina wasn’t the person who placed a bet on Red Whiskey. £400 was not achieved with the bet that was placed on Seacracker.

CampixuShade certain cells to reveal a picture. The first number
in a row or column tells you how many cells in that row or
column must be shaded. The second number in a row or
column indicates the number of shaded blocks in that
row or column.
A block consists of one or more shaded cells. Thus 5 3
means five shaded cells grouped in three blocks. There
must be at least one empty cell between shaded blocks.
All cells in any inner shape must have the same colour;
either they are all shaded, or they are all white.

CLUE WORD SCORE
Steal the Scene
Word Sleuth
Study the scene below for two minutes. The grid placed over the picture allows you to
form smaller chunks within the larger picture. Turn over to page 46 to continue the puzzle.
Use your powers of deduction to work out our four-
letter mystery word. The four different letters in the
mystery word can be worked out by comparing the
scores of the clue words. Every letter in a clue word
that is in the mystery word is scored with a circle,
black if the letter is in the correct place, red if it isn’t.
So, for example, NODE shares two letters with our
mystery word, but only one is in the correct position.

Steal the SceneCan you write the number of each of these listed elements of the picture
in the correct square of the grid?
KakuroSimple addition and a bit
of logical thinking will solve
this one. You must write a
digit in each white square
so that the digits in each
block add up to the total
in the box above or to the
left. 1-9 are the only digits
to use and, although you
may find a digit repeated
in a row or column, it must
not be repeated in the
same block. We’ve filled
in one block for you.

puzzle indicate squares –
or groups of consecutive
squares – that are to be
shaded in. For example
the numbers 4,3 tell you
that there is a group of 4
and a group of 3 squares
to be shaded, with at
least one unshaded
square between them.

Killer SudokuThe normal rules of Sudoku
apply. Place a digit from 1-9
in each empty square so
that each row, column and
3x3 block contains all the
digits from 1-9. In addition,
the digits in each inner
shape (marked by dots)
must add up to the number
in the top corner of that box.
No digit can be repeated
within an inner shape.
