[Blindmath] Giving a Test for Mensa

[David Andrews]

In the mid 1980's I worked for a nonprofit serving the blind and was 
asked to speak to the local Mensa chapter.  This was in a major 
city.  I found them to be one of the most engaging, and engaged 
groups I have ever spoken to in my 30 year career.  They were 
interesting, interested and unique people.
