What is MENSA?
It is said that Mensa is an international organization in San Francisco for intelligent people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.
One day, the members of
"Mensa" went out to lunch at a restaurant.
When they sat down, one of them discovered that the salt shaker contained pepper, and the pepper shaker was full of salt..!
How could they switch the contents of the two bottles without spilling either of them, and using only the tools available on the table..
Simply solving this problem was a job for the minds of the "Mensa" members.
The group discussed the problem and presented ideas, and in the end, they came up with a brilliant solution that included a napkin, a straw, and an empty plate.
Then they called the waitress to impress her with their solution.
They said: Ma'am, we noticed that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker contains pepper.
But before they could finish their words, the waitress stood up and said, "Sorry about that."
She casually leaned over the table, picked up the bottles, unscrewed the caps, one labeled salt and the other pepper, and replaced each cap with the other.
There was a dead silence at the table of intelligent Mensa members.
* For most of the problems in our lives, there are simple solutions,
But it is our brilliant minds that complicate the simple.
