The questions in this book are typical of those found in nearly all books of this type; there is a wide variation in the level of difficulty. Most of this is due to the subject matter, an area that one person finds difficult others will find understandable. Some of them can be answered by intelligent guessing or the application of fundamental logic, but there are some that most people will find next to impossible.There is a wide range of subject matter, the most common topic is the origin of words. I found the book enjoyable, it is the kind of book that once you complete a question, independent of whether you were successful in answering it, you eagerly go on to the next one.The book is organized into 41 quizzes consisting of five questions, each set is put forward and immediately after that there is a section that repeats each question and then gives the solution. One flaw in the book is that there are a few questions that are repeated, one example is about an aerial bomb capable of destroying a city block. If you like the challenge of hard questions based on more obscure topics, then you will love this book.
