    Brain Boot Camp

    2/14/13| Len
    So many of the answers in this book are wrongly judged as 'incorrect' when they are correct, that it is at first, humorous, but begins to be just plain aggravating and then just boring. The errors are glaring and obvious, yet 'incorrect' is the order of the day here. Perhaps every 18th or 15th or 24th answer is programmed to display 'incorrect' so that the user can think this gimmick of a book is for real.

    What an innovative book. The book contains some of the most challenging puzzles that I have encountered. I love the "Coach" feature that helped to guide me to areas of the brain that needed the most work. My wife and I are going through the book again and have given it to several of our friends as gifts.

    Is the book supposed to be bound upside down?
