There is a game called "Mindtrap" (found in the board game section of
toystores) that consists of a bunch of cards with questions such as these. I
used to include this type of question as extra credit on my math tests because
I like to give some kind of recognition to students who may not do terribly
well on the regular part of the test but who have quick and logical minds
nonetheless.
BTW the Mindtrap game was one of the toys I saw for 75% off at the Target
clearance so you may want to check in case there are any left.
