THE ULTIMATE MENTAL CHALLENGE
If you like puzzles you will like Mensa, a society that
exists entirely for people who are adept at solving the
knottiest problems. If you would like to take the
Mensa test and meet people of like mind, then write to
us at British Mensa Limited, Mensa House, St John's
Square, Wolverhampton, WV2 4AH England.
I should like to thank all those who helped with
this book. In particular I should like to mention my
wife Doris, our friend Josie Fulton, and puzzler David
Ballheimer, who edits my outpourings without mercy
and saves me from making a fool of myself in public.
