So much fun for use in family game night. What a throw back though! solid questions and all of the answers are correct. i was actually surprised with how many questions it came with. it feels like there's way more that 1500 questions. The size is perfect for a bookshelf or to through in your kids backpack

This is a fun game with simple rules. The rounds go quickly so the players maintain their interest. Some questions are tough because there are so many options available but only 10 'correct' answers.

Little long and hard to get concept down at first but good questions that are all over the place so it evens up everyone's chances to win.  Little strange that there is no dice and some questions didn't have answers printed on them but really no big deal.  Overall we laughed and enjoyed the time we played so yes worth it.

A now becoming junior in high school, I already have many things on my to-do list and my worry list, and I did NOT want this to be a part of my worry list (I was already terrified of taking this course). Thus far, this book takes u through a step through step process on tackling easy & difficult problems, and makes you actually want to engage, but be warned ! This book is more for those that have a strong or comfortable background in algebra 1 & 2 (mostly 2). It goes pretty fast, I'm no math geek, but I'm not going to lie his (author) constant joking in the book made it fun to study.

I give this 4/5 stars simply because I wish there were more practice problems, however i do like the idea of the final at the end, and step-by-step explanations on how to do the practice problems  (there in the back).

This book has a lot of very simple straight forward questions as probing questions that should be common sense things to ask. However, the 70% ish of the questions are ones that i didn't think of, or at least not in that way, and the remaining questions well... It is absolutely worth it even if there are only 5 questions that you didn't think of that prod deeper conversation. my girlfriend and i answer 1-3 questions a night, and it has really helped us talk through things, and learn more about each other than we expected.

I loved this book!  It was funny and informative.  Poundstone  presents some of the toughest interview questions that are actually being asked by companies today. In addition to the answers, he delves into the histories of the questions themselves.  Who thought them up, how they relate to the job at hand, and how some don't have any relevance to the job at all, but why the interviewer is asking them anyway.  I found the background on some of the questions almost as interesting as some of the questions themselves.  It was also quite fun trying to figure out the answers.  I read with two bookmarks.  One keeping my place in beginning of the book, and one in the back were Poundstone had listed each questions answer in order that they had appeared in the book itself.  I'm not going to even try to pretend that I have the genius to work at google, or some of the other companies that these  questions were gleaned from, so it shouldn't be a surprise when I say that more often then not the answers I came up with were no where near correct. I still had fun though.
 The author also gave quite a few tips on what to do if you're hit with questions you don't quite know how to answer.  How to brainstorm on the fly, ways to question you interviewer to buy time and get extra hints to help solve the problem.  Also ways to phrase your answers so that even if they are wrong you don't look like a complete idiot.  Plus other interview tips, such as making sure you research the company you are applying at and making sure you clean up your public sites, such as facebook or myspace, before applying. After all if you are googling them, then they definitely are googling you. Especially if the company you are applying for is GOOGLE!.  Whether you have interviews looming in the near future, or  if you just want to give your brain a good work out this book is definitely gonna help either way. Even if you plan on being the interviewer instead of the interviewee it might help.  After all, according to the data the author presents, interviews really are no true reflection on how the applicant is actually going to perform on the job.  But maybe if you use some of these more interesting questions, or versions of them, you can  at least see who REALLY wants the job. (if they are going to put up with some of the crazier questions  and actually try to answer them, then obviously they want it right?)

My mother is legally blind and because there is no time limit on answering the questions, I can take the time to read her the questions and let her decide her answer. You don't know how rare this is in trivia type games. Most of them have time limits that make them impossible for me to read to her.  We have a blast with this game.  The only thing that annoys me is the final question is one you enter your answer rather than choose multiple choice.  It can be picky on whether it wants the word "the" in the answer or not.  We've decided to ignore if they say it is wrong and just use our own judgement.  All in all a great game and lots of fun!

All sorts of questions you never knew you had plus a few you probably did ask are answered in this book.
My family loves science in a casual way. We aren't scientists, but we have subscriptions to a few science magazines, we watch Nova, we download science podcasts and read books by Brian Greene. So this looked like a fun book for the whole family.
It really is that much fun. There are 162 questions ranging all over the place all answered concisely and understandably. It's the sort of book that you can leave around to read when the mood strikes you to read a few pages. Pick it up and open it anywhere to learn something new or one you can use as a springboard to dinner conversation with your family. Every night at dinner we go around the table discussing "What did you learn today?" and this book adds to those conversations.
It's science as light entertainment, not seriously going into depth on any one thing, just questions and answers that may spark more study and curiosity.
Highly recommended for parents or for people like my dad who always wants to know "Why".

Great fun for everyone that has played it with us.  Some questions are VERY obscure so the game remains challenging.  A+ for replayability.

Our family is having so much fun with this game.  It makes you think about what words really mean and it's funny when you discuss why you chose a word that others would not think matched.  It's interactive and thought provoking!  It also causes you to see things from a different angle than you might normally.

This journal is quite enjoyable. It has a variety of questions that are both fun and some a little more serious. My husband and I do write in it when we can and we always enjoy reading what we have to say about each other. It will be interesting to know the difference between this year's answers and the 2 years ahead.

I got this as a valentine's gift for my husband. We are really enjoying it! Now that we have 2 children most of our time is taken up with taking care of them and talking about them(which we love more than anything but every couple needs time just them). This has been a fun way to make time for us in the evenings and ask questions we may have never thought of. It's exciting to learn new things about the one you love. We ask a different question once a week. The questions are not always easy to answer. Sometimes we really have to think about it which makes it more fun. I would recommended this highly as just a fun game to get to know each other better and become closer.

What better way for kids to learn all about animals? This book provides the sort of fun education that the new generation is so accustomed to with all the fancy children's TV shows and all. Your child definitely won't be bored while you're reading the questions to them, making them guess what the right answer is.

The answers in the book are fairly easy to guess so I believe that the author's target audience are toddlers or preschoolers. Aside from the easy yet fun questions, you'll see fun facts and pictures about the animal when you get the question right. Don't worry if your kids get it wrong the first time because you can just guess again.

I would recommend this book for families with toddlers or preschoolers. It's a good chance for you to have some bonding time with your children through reading this book. You won't regret it and your kids won't either.

Walker Percy unleashes a breathtakingly challenging set of questions upon the reader.  He wonders why we can feel terrible and abstracted one moment, but wonderful and alive after surviving a bullet wound.  He asks whether we actually feel happy to hear that our next door neighbor has had a great good fortune or whether we merely feign happiness.  Why wouldn't we be genuinely happy for our neighbor?  Is it possible something might be wrong with us?
After proving a variety of points through asking his difficult questions, Percy goes on make a serious attempt to remedy the fact that we know far more about the orbit of the planets than we do about ourselves.  Some of the concepts he originates in "Lost in the Cosmos" should be studied by mental health professionals everywhere.  What he is attempting in this book is nothing less than to uncover the mystery of ourselves and why it can be so hard to get through an ordinary Wednesday afternoon.

This is really fun because I've always wanted to keep a journal, but I feel like a noob writing about my day because I'm a loser and my life is boring lol, but I thought this would be something fun to give to my son when he's older, so he could see what I was like when he was younger. I'm giving it 4 stars because some of the questions are dumb like, "Ice, water, or steam?" - WTF kind of question is that??
