Carter P. IQ Challenge

Barnes Noble, 1994. — 367 p. — ISBN 1-56-619164-5.We are delighted to have had the opportunity to produce this book and to be able to share our interest in puzzles with you. It is through our membership of Mensa, the High-IQ society, and in particular our involvement with Enigmasig, the special-interest group within Mensa devoted to the setting and solving of puzzles, that the two of us have formed the friendship and partnership which has led to a series of books and has enabled us continually to devise new and original types of puzzles.Founded in 1946, Mensa is a society where the sole qualification for membership is to have attained a score, in any supervised test of general intelligence, which puts the applicant in the top 2 per cent of the general population. The name 'Mensa' is Latin for 'table', indicating a round table society which aims to include intelligent people of every opinion and calling, where all members are of equal standing within the society.Mensa is perhaps best described as a social club where members communicate with other members through correspondence, meetings, think-ins, dinners, special-interest groups, magazines, lectures and international gatherings. Membership of the society gives us enormous interest and pleasure. If you wish to learn more about Mensa, and how to take the Mensa Entrance Test, then why not write for details to one of the addresses below? If you are successful, then we are sure you will find that the efforts involved are far outweighed by the enjoyment you will derive.
