From the back cover: What could be more challenging than the matural wonders of the world? The one hundred puzzles in this collection are more than just puzzles-they're real-life amazements.

Why are birds' eggs generally narrower on one end than the other? Not only will solving these puzzles teach you about the way our world and universer work, but they're also truly satisfying brainteasers-an infuriating blend of the obvious and the elusive. This is an ingeious combination of scientific phenomena and phenomenal fun!
