About this audiobook
Devised by devious genius Tom Cutler, The Pilot Who Wore a Dress is a fiendish collection of riddles, mysteries and puzzles to test and tease your brain.
This title includes an accompanying PDF.
Here’s a simple one to get you started: four bodybuilders are huddling together in the street, under a small ladies’ umbrella, yet after 20 minutes not one of them has got wet. How is this possible?
Separated into original brainteasers and timeless conundrums, plus locked-room head-scratchers and unsolvable crimes borrowed from the very best of detective fiction, this cunning collection will give your lateral thinking muscle a proper workout. See if you can crack the problems by tracing the clues tucked away in each mystery, before hopping to the next track to hear the answer.
These puzzles are perfect for the squashed commute and after-dinner whoopla alike. They are guaranteed to entertain and delight, whether you’re a wannabe Sherlock Holmes or a budding Jonathan Creek. Side effects may include bafflement, laughter, smugness, and exclamations along the lines of, ‘It’s so obvious once you know the answer.’
Oh, and about those bone-dry bodybuilders – who said it was raining? So obvious!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very amusing and lighthearted book.
The examples of lateral thinking are fiendish and dastardly, but very enjoyable.
There are a few "Oh so that's what it was" and "Why didn't think of that!".
The cartoons are great!
Highly recommended.
