I'm felt a bit dumb not being able to follow all the math, so I mostly skipped straight to the conclusions. Had to brush off some high school physics, if you were to follow the reasoning and all. But otherwise a very fun, thought-provoking book with great illustration.

Conceptually, not quite as interesting to me as What If?, but still brainy, oddball fun. The kind of book you think you're going to dip in and out of, but then end up reading for surprisingly sustained periods.

Delightfully fun non-fiction book that dismisses the obvious solution to common problems like how to move and how to throw things to figure out well, how to optimize it as best you can using physics and statistics.
