Really fun book!
Love the colour theme and how it’s used in the book.
Love the format of ‘interesting fact/titbit on left page’ and ‘math quiz or brain teaser on right page’.
The book is fun and witty. Very well presented and seems to be well researched. Love the product plugs for his earlier books - I will now definitely go looking for them.
Minor thing - ii don’t agree with the conclusion of some of the puzzles. But peoples’ minds work in different ways.

My youngest son (age 11) enjoyed this book SO much he would give it SIX stars.
The information was excellent and the puzzles were fantastic. It will take my son a LONG time to work through all the brain bending puzzles in this wonderful book.

Mind breaking but I told myself that I WAS reading it and I did get some of the answers.
