A fun book , great at parties or sitting alone
This is an easy to read and easy to use collection of 78 brainteasers and riddles. To get the answer, all one has to do is click the side of the question. The questions are not complicated. Examples include: Why are manhole covers round? How far can a fox run into a woods? The questions prompt us to think and reach a moment of clarity where we say "of course!" Each question is unique, nor repetitions. No complicated math of a need to have a high-level vocabulary. It is a fun book, great for parties or while sitting alone.

Pretty happy with it
There are 78 total riddles and brain teasers, with 78 answers and explanations. This is my first book of this kind and I am happy with it. It’s not a very big book but it’s looking like a passion project so the maximize the experience for what you get in other wards there isn’t any fluff that I’ve seen it’s all business and worth having on hand if this is your thing.

Good puzzle collection!
I had a lot of fun with this collection, which is unusual for me with lateral thinking problem books. This isn't because I dislike the genre, but because I've read so many that it's harder to find problems I haven't encountered before. Fortunately Of Course! manages to have a few surprises, even for veterans. My primary complaint is that the problems, while fair in their solutions, occasionally feel like they don't have enough information in the premise to definitively solvable. It may be worth having a friend read the solution and play 20 questions with the stumpers rather than just guessing and checking when you are unsure if your solution is the 'right' one.

Great collection of brain teasers
This is an excellent collection of riddles and brain teasers that range in difficulty from very easy to very hard. A few of them are twists on classic puzzles such as getting a Fox, a chicken and a bag of seed across the river when you can only transport one item at a time. No special skills are required to solve them such as math skills. The biggest requirements is patience, as many of them will make you think for quite awhile. I wasn't always patient enough and if you read the book on an ereader the links to the answers make finding them out easy, and then you can quickly jump back to the book for the next puzzle. Excellent collection that anyone will enjoy.I wish to thank Mr. Guido for providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Meh
Got this bc my husband and I love riddles and brain teasers- that feels lame even typing but there it is. This book got really good reviews and a lot of reviewers commented that the contents would be challenging. Well… here’s the thing. They reuse a LOT of scenarios and some of the “puzzles” are just downright ridiculous. Like you have to read the answer and then realize you never would have gotten it bc they throw in strange little nuances that are far fetched and ridiculous. We still mull over some of these in the evenings but w a grain of salt. Don’t want to waste too much time on something that will be fruitless. It’s an ok book, I guess it just depends on what you’re looking for.

The Riddle Book we all are looking for
Zack Guido has composed the best book of riddles I've seen. As the other reviewers said, the riddles are not the silly childish ones that barely make you smile nor are they the cheap tricky ones that don't test your reasoning at all. These riddles vary in difficulty from simple enough for most to difficult for everyone. They get more difficult as the book progresses, inviting you to challenge yourself as you begin to flex your mind.I recommend this book for anyone who is new to riddles, has a slight interest in riddles, or even the old pro. I found myself enjoying the author's rewritten versions of old riddles I have heard before. The wording is clear and compelling.A note on the format: the links to the solutions from each riddle is very handy, as the links back from the solutions are.A well crafted piece of work in all aspects.

A fun family road trip book
My family loves puzzles, riddles, brain teasers, etc. I bought this for my husband with pretty low hopes (there aren't many riddles/brain teasers that stump him) but we all LOVE this book! We brought it with us on a long ride across state and couldn't get enough of it. We worked through them with our children (both 10) and discussed the possible answer then the logic behind the actual answer. The book doesn't just tell you the answer but explains it as well.A lot of light fun in this book.
