The Mensa Genius Quiz-a-day Book Paperback – Illustrated, January 22, 1989

Got this book for one of my grandpa’s stocking stuffers at Christmas (sorry for late review). He is a member of Mensa and is the smartest man I know! He was stumped on a few of these, great questions!!

MY SON LOVES THIS BOOK

I bought this book prior to my taking the aptitude test that got me into Mensa. It was both fun and helpful and I at least felt a little smarter coming out the other end. I would recommend this book to anyone contemplating taking any similar test or just for a fun and challenging read. I sent this and a couple of other Mensa books to my niece and nephew. It went over pretty good with everyone in the family.

I did these puzzles as if it was a daily devotional, 1 puzzle a day. I was able to get 2/3 of the problems correct with a 15 minute time limit, strict grading. These puzzles are all over the map in terms of difficulty. Most are a bit too easy, some are brutally hard. This book was published in the 80's, and Ms. Salny was in her 60's at the time this was published. So a lot of the puzzles have an "old" feel to them. I was much better at the math puzzles (a lot were solving 2 variables in 2 equations). My nemesis was the anagrams, some of which were brutal for me. Overall a lot of fun. In some cases the puzzles had multiple correct answers, and the answer given in the back was sort of arbitrary.

Bought as a gift for my brother who is a Mensa member. Of course, took a peek prior to sending off to him for Christmas. The quizzes had a great variety and were fun even for me - who will never be a Mensa Member. Would recommend for anyone who likes to figure out word quizzes.

i bought this as a gift for my husband. we’re having tons of fun trying to solve these!

Really fun book

The presentation of this item is deceptive. The book is titled "Mensa Genius Quiz- A - Day Book. I believe most readers would assume from this title that the book contains an entire Mensa level quiz a day. My experience with this transaction was not up to Amazon standards and I am very disappointed. I know that's what I assumed. However, the book actually contains one question a day, which, at best, represents one quiz a month. I am a long-term user of Amazon, as is my whole family, and this is definitely not representative of of the usual quality of Amazon transactions.
