## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one amazing book.
*by S***I on December 20, 2016*

I was compelled to write a review as I found some of the lower-ranked reviews downright condescending. Some of the problems in the book are decidedly simple but with twists that may not be obvious at the outset. In hindsight, the solutions to these make them simple to understand and replicate. But several other problems discussed are difficult enough to be posed on Ph.D qualifiers at class 1 institutions. That is the appeal of the book. Its a great mix. I read some of the tough problems regularly to deepen my understanding of logically working through a solution. I have used Buffon's needle (before I read this book, but it is discussed therein) on my 10 yr old's school project and used the "breaking a stick" problem to illustrate Monte Carlo simulation in class. Granted that some knowledge of basic probability/mathematical statistics would be required to appreciate the solutions but even without such a background the problems themselves are fairly interesting. For example, I have posed the "tennis" problem to my 10 year old and have worked through the logic with him, which he understood sans any math. In summary, this is $7 and change more than well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun book for probability fans
*by H***M on July 5, 2023*

This is a fun book, with bite-size probability problems and an answer key provided in the back. If you enjoy probability and statistics, you’ll have fun with this book. I like to read one a day and think it through on my morning drive. Some old classics and some new problems included in here; it would make a nice little gift too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to start day
*by D***G on November 3, 2021*

I did one problem each morning. Really happy with most solutions, though some could have shown more steps. The author covers famous problems like Buffon's needle and Molina's urn, and also shows how simple probability problems can lead to several of the most common probability distributions.
