THE ULTIMATE MENTAL CHALLENGE
If you like puzzles you will like Mensa, a society that exists entirely for people who are adept at solving the knottiest problems. If you would like to take the Mensa test and meet people of like mind, then write to us at British Mensa Limited, Mensa House, St John's Square, Wolverhampton, WV2 4AH England. I should like to thank all those who helped with this book. In particular I should like to mention my wife Doris, our friend Josie Fulton, and puzzler David Ballheimer, who edits my outpourings without mercy and saves me from making a fool of myself in public.

ANSWERS Answer 149 4. Add the two top outer numbers from the upper boxes and the two bottom numbers from the lower boxes and put the sum in the inner box diagonally opposite. The third outer number is obtained by subtracting 3, 4, 5, and 6 from the adjoining answer, starting from the top left and reading clockwise. The answer is obtained as follows: 6 + 4 (top right's two outer top numbers) = 10 (bottom left's inner numbers) - 6 = 4.

Answer 151 C. It spells Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.
Answer 152 A. Multiply each shaded fraction with the shaded fraction opposite. The number in the middle is the ratio of the two resulting fractions. A is the odd one out because Y,x Y = !4; 4 x Y4= Y,and the ratio is not 1.
Answer 153 Z. Add the values of the three outside numbers, based on their position in the alphabet, and place their sum in the inner box opposite.
Answer 154 Y. It spells Aldous Huxley.
Answer 147 24 and Q. Take the value of the letters in the top triangle, based on the reversed alphabet (Z = 1, A = 26) and take 5 away. Put the new numbers in the bottom triangle. Take the value of the letters in the bottom triangle, based on the alphabet forwards (A = 1, Z = 26), and add 3. Put the new numbers in the top triangle. For Q to fit these criteria, the number 20 would need to be in the upper triangle, and for 24 to fit, the letter would need to be U.
Answer 155 7. Add the three numbers on the outside of each square (A). Add the digits of the sum (B). Divide A by B and place in the small square.
Answer 148 D. The formula is: (right x shaded fraction of left) (top x shaded fraction of bottom) = middle shape's number of sides. Therefore, in example D: (18 x 2/3 [121) - (12 x 3/4) [9] = 3. The answer shape should be 3-sided, so it is the odd one out.
Answer 157 L. Start at the top left of each diagram, move to the top right, bottom and on to the new diagram. Move forward by 3 letters, back by 2, forward by 4, back by 2.
