The addictive series of pocket-sized logic puzzles continues in Volume Two!

Area mazes (menseki meiro) have taken Japan by storm, and it’s easy to see why. Prolific puzzle inventor Naoki Inaba has created a worthy successor to Sudoku: The rules are simple—but getting the answer can take all your creativity! Just remember:

• Area = length × width
• Use spatial reasoning to find helpful relationships
• Whole numbers are all you need. You can always get the answer without using fractions!
