Einstein's Riddle: Riddles, Paradoxes, and Conundrums to Stretch Your Mind

There were some fun brainteasers in this book, but many of the questions require statistics and probability instead of good, old-fashioned logic. My favorite puzzle was Einstein's Riddle, which requires you to make a grid and fill in the answers based on clues. (I'm happy to say I arrived at the correct answer.) I had heard of several of the riddles before -- some are as old as philosophy -- but it was still fun to revisit them.
I plan to share this book with my mom, who was a math professor, and see how she fares. She'll probably get all of the statistics questions right.
