Puzzle solving as extreme sport. Packed with a year of word and number conundrums tough enough to be sanctioned by Mensa, the internationally famous high-IQ society, 365 Brain Puzzlers is the perennially bestselling calendar that promises to push your neurons to the limit, every day. Gigantiwords. Sequences. Automation. Animal Crackers. And: I’m creating floral arrangements using the flowers and vases that I have. If I put one flower per vase, there are three flowers left over. If instead I put four flowers per vase (and all of the flowers get used), there are three vases left over. How many flowers and vases do I have? In case your gray matter lets you down, answers are on the reverse side of each page.

Better than most,

This review is from: Mensa 365 Brain Puzzlers Page-A-Day Calendar 2010 (Page-A-Day Calendars) (Calendar)
I agree with others that this year's version is not as challenging, but I want to suggest they buy the "Mensa Genius Quiz A Day" BOOK. This has a brainteaser for every day of the year and can be reused as the questions are obscure and involved. You'll get the mental exercise you're looking for. Can't be used as a calendar but those are everywhere.

NOT Page-A-Day!,

This review is from: Mensa 365 Brain Puzzlers Page-A-Day Calendar 2010 (Page-A-Day Calendars) (Calendar)
We've enjoyed the Mensa calendars for many years and this year there are some interesting new types of puzzles. However we were disappointed to discover that it is no longer one page PER DAY. Saturday & Sunday are now combined on a single page. We like to look at a puzzle while eating a meal sometime during the day and do NOT want to see the next day ahead of time. The title of the calendar is therefore misleading (false advertising) since there is no longer a page per day.

Ugh. Give me *puzzles*, not endless word scrambles.,
By Mooz "Mooz" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mensa 365 Brain Puzzlers Page-A-Day Calendar 2010 (Page-A-Day Calendars) (Calendar)
Let's see, today is January 22nd, so I've worked through twenty-to of the so-called "puzzles" in this calendar. Of those, FIFTEEN have been some variation of the "word-scramble"/"missing letters" genre.
Maybe folks who love crosswords will enjoy this, but it's certainly not for someone looking to actually engage their minds. Sorry, but this calendar's "puzzles" are sorely lacking in not only creativity, but actual challenge. - Disappointed in Denver
