Like puzzles? This is for you!
Calling all mathematicians! I got this book for my youngest son, whose birthday is coming up next month. I had sent a copy to my sister a while ago and her husband (a math professor) commandeered it. I don't do math, but I opened the book at random and solved one puzzle (#16, perhaps) in my head, then stopped so I wouldn't break my streak! The book contains puzzles of all sorts - diagrams, word puzzles, plays on words, diagrams, and other things I didn't even recognize. If puzzles relax or fascinate you, get this book at once!

Generally good except for some bad non-puzzles
My kids and I love this book except for some brain teasers that aren’t maths at all and aren’t suitable for children. Puzzle 2 shown in the photos is an example. My 12 year old daughter totally didn’t get it. I really wish I didn’t have to explain to her that maybe the author of this book wanted to date Julia Roberts.

A great resource book for research in the puzzle world.
One of the best history of universally familiar puzzles that I have seen for some time. The graphics were outstanding and it was impeccably crafted from a production standpoint.

Short but fun math puzzles
Bought this for my hubby and he is happy with it. These are puzzles that he says are fun, but don't require hours of thought.
