Review: 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.

Loved em
It's really nice having so many of these put together in one place and not fluffed up with a bunch of terrible riddles like a lot of other collections. What I really liked is that there aren't trick questions. You'll never flip to the solution only to roll your eyes at the answer. Each one has a logical solution that you can figure out. Some are really challenging though, which makes solving them more rewarding. Also, it's great for parties/gatherings. My friend group loves to try and stump each other with tough riddles and I just got a lot of good material for them.

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.

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.

Quality riddles, fairly difficult
If you're curious, this is a paperback book. I gave it to my dad as a gift and he carried it around reading and figuring out the riddles. We did some as a family too. Great riddles, there was only 1 we encountered that was just a wording trick, which I'm not a fan of, but like others say, it is primarily logic based. Super fun, great riddles.

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.

Denksportaufgaben vom Feinsten
Die Denksportaufgaben-Sammlung ist hervorragend. Auch die Aufgaben von Martin Gardner kommen bzgl. der Lösbarkeit ohne tiefere mathematische Kenntnisse und der Eleganz vieler Aufgaben an diese im Schnitt nicht heran. Die Aufgaben sind von leicht bis schwer sortiert, und bei den letzten kann man manches Mal vermute, dass sie unlösbar sind - Irrtum! Ein paar Beispiele bzgl. der typischen Aufgabentypen: Das Ziegenproblem, Aufgaben mit Lügnern, mehrere Aufgaben mit Hüten (man sieht die anderen, aber nicht seinen eigenen) usw. Es gibt keine sprachlichen Aufgaben - im WEsentlichen reine Logikaufgaben.
