I love these puzzles. Most are pretty easy (I've been out of school a long time or they would be really easy), some, like Paper Clips, are a more challenging. I'm having some trouble with the fact that it's poorly edited and some problems and answers don't work i.e. in Summer Birthdays, which for some reason isn't titled except in the solutions, the possible ages at the end of school are 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, but the last clue says that 2 of the students were born only 21 days apart. Overall, though, it makes me wonder why I ever grumbled about word problems when I was in school, because they're lots of fun.
