Why Must Read 399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young.?

Book arrived in perfect condition. I am finding the puzzles, games and trivia quite fun, some a tad difficult but all interesting (I'm not what the younger reviewers consider "old" either) If you feel you are too young to know the answers; research, broaden your horizons, learn about the past, after all, it repeats itself often. Someone commented on "outdated trivia"; it can be referred to as past culture and history; learn something old, you may learn something new! If you feel the book is too simplistic, wow, good for you, you might want to look in to going on Jeopardy (not being sarcastic actually). Some reviewers gave low star reviews due to the fact they themselves spoke "broken English". The book is written in English, often utilizing words containing two or more syllables; so, if you don't understand the words 1. look them up in the English Dictionary and/or 2. Cross reference the English language words, which you don't understand, to your home lands' language; you may learn a few new words which is a positive thing. The book can actually be a fun tool if you don't know the American culture, you might just have to look up the answers more than others, not a problem, it's called learning . If you find some of the puzzles difficult, play with your kids, spouse, friends, etc., making it a fun, learning experience (and if you all get too frustrated, just peek in the back of the book and say "DUH, I knew that!") For those who are drastically challenged in memory, this book may be a bit too difficult and frustrating; as for me, I struggle with some of the "timed" challenges, but rather than getting frustrated with myself, I simply try to answer the best I can on my own time, hoping that maybe my mind will catch up as I practice the puzzles. I'm grateful for this book, much better for me than watching nothing on television or staring at my cell phone all day long. Finally, for those who only know "newer trivia", write your own book, after all the "old" saying goes "necessity is the mother of invention". (Just a little trivia for you).
