Here’s a very good classic brain bender that requires a dose of lateral thinking. Having a box of matches on hand will definitely help you work it through.

Recently purchased his puzzle collection book Amazing ‘Aha’ Puzzles, which I’m very much enjoying and highly recommend if you’re looking for more brain teasers that spur creativity and “outside of the box” thinking. You can visit his website www.ahapuzzles.com here.
