From duo Paul Sloane and Des MacHale, who have been collaborated on many popular lateral-thinking puzzle books since 1991. This book will have you kicking yourself, slapping your forehead, and laughing out loud, not necessarily in that order. Filled with little teasers that have trick answers, this is one book of puzzles that will amuse as well as confuse. For instance: What was the name of the president in 2000? No, not Bill Clinton - the answer is Barack Obama, the current president, who in 2000 had the same name he does today.
