Recensione

The book is small but offers a rich collection of interesting problems puzzles, if you will - not requiring math knowledge beyond high, and many middle, school level. --CTK Insights

Almost all of the problems are fresh or at least have an extra complication to it. This is a marvelous collection that I can warmly recommend to occasional as well as diehard puzzlers. --European Mathematical Society

The book is also a rich source of problems in combinatorics, probability and expected value. --Mathematical Gazette
