This is a great little book to leave around the "Throne Room"
to fill a few minutes. Although filled with a lot of little ponderables we have all had,it will never be the final word in this sort of thing since the world is filled with those little questions we have all wondered about.The difference here is that some of those questions get answered.Each question and answer is brief and can be covered in a couple of minutes.
A taste of the questions brought up :
"Why is the shower warmer in the middle?"
"How can a paper clip float?"
"Why do ice cubes crack in your drink?"
"What's the oldest thing alive?"
And finally that question on the cover,
"Why does a ball bounce?"
Like I said,not earth-shattering stuff,but something you've probably pondered.

most of the questions in this book are pretty interesting but a good handful are obious ones or not that interesting .. overall good book to pass the time..
