Good One. I figured it out after reading it a few times.
It is like the two fathers and the two sons who came home from fishing with one fish per person (altogehter 3 fish).-I like this trick puzzle with a 'I see!-Effect'.
i figured this one out instantly, it was good though, it probably wouldn't have been so easy if i hadn't read 2 other teasers so similar too it
very neat...
I see exactly what you mean...I, like others have heard some like this. Even though I had heard others, I thought that the 8 books were duplicates and therefore not really expanding the collection, but good teaser.
Gerd i wanted to say that
I have also heard ones like this before but I like them because they make you think, yet the answer is still gettable!! Good Job
