از بچگی معما دوست نداشتم، به‌خصوص که با هوش و حواس‌جمعی گره خورده و اگر نتوانی پاسخ دهی می‌گویند خنگی. اگرچه معماهای این کتاب از نظر فرهنگی و آموختن سبک زندگی آمریکایی مفید بود اما برای من لذت‌بخش نبود. و به نظرم با توجه به قدمت این کتاب حتی این معماها در زندگی روزه‌ی کنونی کاربرد ندارند.

Double entendre, regardless of language usually is fascinating. For non-native who learn English, double entendre can bring richness in their language learning. This book has riddles with double entendre, word plays, funny unexpected solution and the mind twisters that was meant for education and humor and each riddles filled with funny pictures and very good explanation where needed. Although there are some were familiar one, there are others that I never heard of and it is as funny.

Read in about 30 minutes. Kid jokes that have been around for
a long time, a few that I had not previously heard. A good reminder
to listen carefully, to appreciate, understand and deal with.
For non native speakers, good explanations to facilitate
understanding and assimilation of the culture.
