Features: The over 100 puzzles collected in MENSA, The Ultimate Challenge, are carefully selected by the MENSA Gifted Children Foundation. They encompass number puzzles, mathematical calculations, mazes, and logical reasoning problems. The book is divided into four sections: "For Beginners," "Showtime," "Braving the Rough," and "The Ultimate Challenge," progressing from easy to difficult. Readers can gain inspiration, enhance their intelligence, and enjoy fun while solving puzzles, achieving three goals in one. It is an invaluable intellectual read for teenagers.
What is MENSA: MENSA is the name of the world's top intelligence club, founded in Oxford, UK, in 1946 by lawyer Roland Berrill and scientist L. L. Thurstone. They intended to establish a society for the intelligent, where members' high IQs would be recognized, affirmed, and continuously improved through challenging club activities, while sharing their successes.
The Influence of MENSA: Over half a century of development has made MENSA the world's best, largest, and most successful intelligence club. As a superclub, it has over 100,000 members worldwide, spanning 100 countries. Except for Antarctica, branches are established in more than 40 countries across all continents. Besides high intelligence, MENSA members have no other defining characteristics. The only way to join MENSA is to pass the MENSA test and stand out—out of every 100 people who pass the MENSA test, only two of the top performers will be admitted as full members.
MENSA Intelligence Tests: In addition to providing an exciting intellectual exchange forum for its members, MENSA also publishes the most challenging puzzles contributed by its members, allowing non-members to share in the fun. Thanks to MENSA's reputation in the field of IQ testing, the "MENSA Series" books are not only bestsellers in Europe and America but are also listed as important reference standards by numerous government agencies and multinational companies worldwide for talent selection.
