I really don't know what I was expecting, but I guess I didn't get it. The riddles weren't that clever and I'd seen most of them before... I guess I learned how to problem solve, i quit the book about half way through...

Great teaching and thinking aid

I loved reading this book and the one before it in the series. I teach Critical Thinking to undergraduates, and this material will be very helpful in planning lectures and activities. I highly recommend it.
