Book Report: The MENSA Genius Quiz Book by Marvin Grosswirth, Dr. Abbie Salny, and the members of MENSA (1981, 1990)
I picked this up at a yard sale or at a book store cheap, much like the MENSA Think Smart Book that I read in 2004.

This book is the same schtick, with chapters on different kinds of puzzles. Unfortunately, this book's previous owner had penciled in a number of the answers, which really rather spoiled it. I mean, I was trying to prove or disprove those answers instead of answering them myself.
So it's worth a quick read and a couple pieces of silverage, but for Pete's sake, open it up and make sure it's unmarked. Don't fall prey to the same problem I did. Unfortunately, the next time I pick up one of these books used, I'll not remember to do that, ultimately proving that I am not MENSA material.

The people who mark up those books weren't Mensa material anyway.

Sadly, the person doing this particular book did better than I did.

If its any consolation, I think you are a genius.

Happy Valentines Day!
