Reviews

[Filipa]

This collection of riddles, enigmas and challenges was super fun to read. I tried to solve them but well, I royally sucked at all of them. I guess that says a lot about my rational thinking!



I will have to practice a lot more in order to become a Dr. Watson. Watson, yes, because I obviously can't reach Holmes' excellency.

A bit like having to do maths homework, not one for me.
