  • Title is misleading.

    They aren't riddles, they are maths questions.

    • a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, contained in a maths question

      • What room do ghosts avoid?

        • The living room?

    • "The most valuable thing in the world is the truth; so valuable that it has often been barricaded by a bodyguard of lies."

  • It's been said that book descriptions are sometimes a load of horseshit …

    These riddles are woeful and presumptuous. Some aren't even riddles and are more jokes "what do you call a kitten that drinks a lot of lemonade" … A kitten, right? No… "a sourpuss"… -_-

  • Also encourages cheating vs. telling a kid how hard they work:

    "Kids praised for being smart are more likely to cheat, new studies find

    Kids who are praised for being smart, or who are told they have a reputation for being smart, are more likely to be dishonest and cheat, a pair of studies from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto and researchers in the U.S. and China has found.

    OISE's Jackman Institute of Child Studies (JICS) Professor Kang Lee and study co-authors say that while praise is one of the most commonly used forms of reward by parents and educators around the world, studies show that when used incorrectly, it can backfire: "Giving children wrong kind of praise makes them dishonest," said Professor Lee."

    "You can tell kids that they’ve done something fantastic, but don’t label them as smart.

    People labelled “smart” at a young age don’t deal well with being wrong. Life grows stagnant.

    The idea is that when we praise kids for being smart, those kids think: Oh good, I'm smart. And then later, when those kids mess up, which they will, they think: Oh no, I'm not smart after all. People will think I’m not smart after all. And that’s the worst. That’s a risk to avoid, they learn.“Smart” kids stand to become especially averse to making mistakes, which are critical to learning and succeeding."
