Erica Sadun's "Numerical Brain Teasers"
pragprog.com/titles/esbra...

This is not like the other brain teasers books but instead is a collection of fun number puzzles. I reviewed this a few years back and loved it, so I broke it out again lately. Still love it.
Numerical Brain Teasers
Test your math, and sharpen your skills. These fun and twisty challenges will puzzle your brain, tease your number sense, and get you thinking outside the box.

@sam-cooper.bsky.social - "Kotlin Brain Teasers"

Another tech review, and this one was right in my wheelhouse. I've done a lot of work with Kotlin and I was still learning new things throughout the book. The "Brain Teasers" series are always fun and this is my favorite.

I tech reviewed this book and I was really impressed with Joe's work on it, even not being a Ruby guy.
