I personally never did exercises unless they were assigned.  Generally  
when I'm reading a text book on my own, it's to get going on a project.   
So I'm not interested in solving puzzles :)

But examples are good to help with understanding, so as long as you put  
the answers in the book, I think it's a good idea.
