This book is the result of hundreds of hours poring over library books, web forums, old notebooks, old conversations with friends, and my own memory!
Some of these riddles and brain teasers you will find if you look into other books and spend time searching through websites. But you will have a hard time finding such a diverse, challenging, and appropriate collection all in one place.
When I first started this project I was working with over four hundred riddles that I considered good. Then I focused it down to about 150 puzzles that I thought were very good. Then I kept focusing it down and refining the list of riddles until I landed on 78 brain teasers that I thought were -amazing- and unique.
For example, any riddle-lover knows that you will come across countless numbers of riddles that involve liars and truth-tellers and so many of them can all be solved using the exact same logic and reasoning. I tried to take the best of those types of riddles and include the greatest ones from each archetype. This keeps the content fresh and exciting with each new riddle, but also allows you to explore all of these different lines of reasoning and solving.
It has been an absolute pleasure putting this collection together and I hope that you enjoy having such a wide but focused collection of riddles all condensed into one place!
