for those who like tough puzzles. Even better than Mensa Kakuro. 150 fantastic puzzles requiring lots of logic. A lot of "expert" puzzles in other books require that at some point you just "trial-and-error" it. I think that is a sign of a poor puzzle. There was very little of that here. Good quality paper and printing.

The puzzles in this book are fun to solve. They are very challenging and take quite a bit of brain power to solve. The puzzles are large with 6-9 number strings rather than relying on typical combinations. Solve at your own risk.

Most Kakuro books that claim to be advanced just aren't challenging enough for the expert puzzle solver. Most are downright easy. In fact, Black Belt Kakuro is really in a class by itself, the only consistently challenging book I've found for advanced Kakuro enthusiasts. Each of these puzzles will have you tearing your hair out -- and then rejoicing when you finally crack it. My only problem with this book is that there just isn't enough of it! The Sudoku books of this series have gone on to "second-degree" editions. When do we get Second-Degree Black Belt Kakuro??? Bring it on!

This is the fourth in a series of Kakuro books, and the hardest. The puzzles are indeed tough, and I often had to look up the answers to figure out what I had done wrong, or to get a cell number to keep me going, but they were solvable for the most part.
I also purchased the Green Belt (not-so-easy) and Brown Belt (hard) books. Conceptis Puzzles did a good job of sorting the puzzles by level of difficulty. I started with the Black Belt, as it was the very first one available on Amazon. I recommend you start with an easier edition and work your way up. The puzzles are the same size in all the books, 12 columns by 21 rows, which is a good value.
My only complaint is that the gimme's (two number combinations with only one answer) are repetitive. For example, for a six figure 38, the 3 almost always comes from a 5, while the 5 comes from a 6. Otherwise, there is a good amount of variety among the puzzles.
