My two cents - it's worth little more, July 25, 2008
This review is from: The Mensa Genius Quiz Book (Paperback)
Like its newer cousin which I unfortunately ordered at the same time - I found this book boring. Too many of the questions were really easy - and it wasn't because I'm too smart for the book. When you check the answers, quite a few of them indicate that 80%-100% of Mensans got the questions correct. On top of that nearly half the book is devoted to trivia and vocabulary. With these you either know the answer or you don't - there's no intelligence involved - only familiarity.
I assumed this book would entertain me for a day. I hoped it would entertain me for a weekend. Instead it bored me for a little over an hour as I took the quizzes. If you're looking for tests of logic, reasoning, and mathematics skills then this book will be of minimal interest to you.
