About the Author

Danesi, Marcel: -

MARCEL DANESI is a professor of linguistics anthropology and semiotics at the University of Toronto, and has composed puzzles for Reader's Digest as well as a blog for Psychology Today, discussing the significance of many types of puzzles. He abides by the principle that even though some puzzles may take more patience to solve, they all should be "do-able" and eventually lead to a grasp of the solution.

Praise for this book

"I use this book at work to create team building games and incorporate different puzzles from different levels. They have proven to be a lot of fun and lead to some very interesting discussions. Some are quite simple, while others take quite a bit of thinking. It is also cool that for each puzzle, there is a bit of a history with it to give some context. A very enjoyable book." -- Customer Review
"My dad and I have exchanged a variety of puzzles for the last 55+ years He enjoyed this book that gave a bit of history on some types of puzzles. He had to put the book away in order not to read it all in one day." -- Customer Review
"I love to be challenged and many of these brain teasers fit the spot. Every Saturday my friends and I get together at a bonfire and we all sat around and I read these teasers. We had a blast. This book is perfect for yourself, with friends, or even for trivia night!" -- Customer Review
"I bought this book as a gift but after receiving it I think I might purchase it for myself. I really enjoyed looking over the brain teasers but what I liked most about this book is that if you get stuck on a brain teaser you can head towards the back of the book and get some clues. If you still can't figure it out then at the every end of the book they have the answer how they got to that answer. I would certainly buy this again as a gift." -- Customer Review
