 \nIf you can solve the puzzles can you join the organization?Youshould have no problem.These are fun puzzles but they are by nomeans easy.If you can work these out the Mensa test should proveto be no hurdle and you should easily qualify.Once you have joinedyou will find a feeling of self-satisfaction that very few experience ina life-time.You will meet people of different walks of life but ofsimilar brain power.A scientist can meet a poet,a composer,or anarchitect.The broadening of the intellectual vision is amazing.Thenew horizon is formidable,but challenging.Iinvite you to join thisever-expanding group of people,where race,religion or politicalpersuasion are not blocks but keys:keys to opening new doors ofunderstanding,friendship and considered discussion.  \nThere are 40,000 Mensa members in the British Isles alone.There areover 50,000 in the USA.There are 120,000 throughout the world.Write to:Mensa(MWP),Mensa House,St John’s Square,Wolverhampton WV21AH.We will send you details and a home-screening IQtest.  \nTake 10 minutes only tocomplete the test.  \n1 If a circle is one how many isan octagon?
