Does exactly as it says on the tin!
Full of mind boggling puzzles-Lots of different types of mathematical puzzles. I was hoping for a few riddles too but they are mostly maths.
There are some you can do in a few minutes and some that will take much longer (unless you are extremely intelligent!)-Many are waaayyy to difficult for me! but it has the answers in the back if you are too stuck. Definitely helps keep the brain active.

I found these brainteasers to be interesting and hard.
Good for picking up and skimming when at a loose end.

Contemporary Brainteasers by Terry Stickels presented over 200 different Brainteasers of varying difficulty levels. There were several different types of questions and I enjoyed the workout this put my brain through while trying to figure out some of these answers. The complete answer key is included in the back of the book by the way. I brought this on a long road trip and my hubby and I had fun and killed alot of time while figuring these out on our drive.
I would like to thank the author, publisher, and netgalley for providing me with an advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.
