I'm thinking about trying to get my programmers certificate. I have been programming in Java (1.4) for a while now and I guess the time is ripe to get certified. I'm looking to start java 5/6 certification and now I'm searching for a book to support my studies. I have a copy of the java Puzzlers book and was wondering two things: one, do these weird Java puzzles/issues/features described in the Java puzzlers book appear in the certification exams? And two, does the B&R book, 3rd edition provide help explaining these puzzles or does the book teach more the basic Java facts, and not those strange things you see in Java Puzzlers?
Hope you understand the question...

The exam does not go as far as the Java puzzlers, but it is a great book on understanding not-so-obvious behviour of Java.
The Mughal&Rasmussen book, 3rd. edition, covers what I would call "core Java", at the same time providing some insights into dark corners of Java.
