Editorial Reviews
Review
“My dad and I have exchanged a variety of puzzles for the last 55+ years He enjoyed this book that gave a bit of history on some types of puzzles. He had to put the book away in order not to read it all in one day.” ―
Customer Review“I love to be challenged and many of these brain teasers fit the spot. Every Saturday my friends and I get together at a bonfire and we all sat around and I read these teasers. We had a blast. This book is perfect for yourself, with friends, or even for trivia night!” ―
Customer Review“I bought this book as a gift but after receiving it I think I might purchase it for myself. I really enjoyed looking over the brain teasers but what I liked most about this book is that if you get stuck on a brain teaser you can head towards the back of the book and get some clues. If you still can’t figure it out then at the every end of the book they have the answer how they got to that answer. I would certainly buy this again as a gift.” ―
