This Weeks Funny Mensa Members Miss Easy Solution Mensa is an organization whose members have an IQ of 140 or higher. A few years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco, and several members lunched at a local café. While dining, they discovered that their saltshaker contained pepper and their peppershaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the bottles without spilling, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly this was a job for Mensa! The group debated and presented ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution. Maam, they said, we couldnt help but notice that the peppershaker contains salt and the saltshaker … Oh, the waitress interrupted. Sorry about that. She unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. —Found on MSN; submitted by Sherman Lee Burford, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama
