B elieve it or not, there are people who do not
regard writing or solving puzzles as suitable
occupations for grown-ups. 'Pointless/ they say.
'Waste of time/ they sneer. 'Why can't you solve real
world problems instead/ they harrumph. Well, tough!
Puzzles have been around since the dawn of
civilisation. The Babylonians had them. And what
about the Riddle of the Sphinx? The truth is that
people have been fascinated by puzzles ever since
they learned to do joined-up thinking. Puzzles may
have no practical value but, as bad habits go, they are
entertaining and relatively harmless. Have you ever
seen anyone overdose on puzzles? Has anyone
contracted a life-threatening disease through excessive
conundrum consumption? Of course they haven't.
In a little way puzzles reflect our fascination with the

mystery of life. They demonstrate that very human
curiosity that demands we get to the bottom of
everything. They are a part of the intellectual curiosity
that drives humans on.

MENSA MIND CHALLENGE
Mensa has been in the puzzle business for over half a

century. That may not be long in the history of puzzle
development, but it is long enough for us to have built
up a formidable collection of amusing, intriguing,
fascinating, frustrating, infuriating puzzles.
This collection was great fun but also hard work. We

had to come up with twenty ideas a day, which is easy
in the beginning but gets harder as you go on. By the
end we were even getting puzzle ideas from staring at
the wallpaper. Almost anything becomes a puzzle if
you work at it.
This collection should keep you occupied for many,

many hours. Have fun, and enjoy.
