Customer Reviews

Lame
So far this is not very fun. The puzzles are not clever. The math ones are like overdone algebra problems. Lots of contrived word problems. Not terribly challenging, either.

Puzzle-A-Day calendar
We get this Mensa puzzle every year and enjoy the new challenge each day. The puzzles differ from word challenges to mathematical problems. Don't fall behind because it takes time to catch up.

A daily challenge...
I start every day with this calendar's puzzles. Lots of them are common sense and many are real "thinkers". Not just for Mensans... ~ Natasha (a lifetime Mensa member)
