You can be my 1Across :bighug:

Correct!

No credit for you!

What was the title to this calendar of puzzles?

I find it weird that the puzzles are all either math problems I can do in 45 seconds or less or word problems that I couldn’t do in 2 hours of work.

Yay! :biggerhug:

I threw away the cover, but here’s what I put in the OP. At the top of every page it says “The Mensa Puzzle Calendar”.

I found a link at the back of the calendar, and I believe this is what I have:
https://www.pageaday.com/products/mensa-365-brain-puzzlers-page-a-day-calendar-2022

So if anyone wants to buy one (or something similar) and do this for 2022, go for it! Unless I get one gifted to me for free again (unlikely I think), I’m done at the end of the year.

Guessing you aren’t old enough to have watched this Tom Hanks tv show? Bosom Buddies Google Search

ETA: I’m not old enough to have watched it when originally aired (or old enough to remember it), so I guess I saw it in re-runs.

Or sang Rock My Soul at camp

lol @ mensa. These are mostly trivial. Fun, but usually not challenging at all.

DeepPurple’s favorite word makes another appearance!

Circle a letter in each word that can be changed to another letter to make a new word. Use the same replacement letter for all five words, but in a different place in each of the five words. The circled letters will spell a word. Use the same replacement letter with this word to make a final five-letter word. The replacement letter in Puzzle 1 is different from the one in Puzzle 2.
