Stamps Wiki:Stamp Issues Today/October 01


 * In celebration of Mensa's 75th Anniversary, Isle of Man Post Office is honoured to present a collection of six puzzling and provoking stamps reflecting the ethos of the society. Each stamp includes; a brain-teasing puzzle supplied by Mensa, a cypher, a relevant date, a post code relating to Mensa and its history, a GPS coordinate, the name of a Mensa special interest group and a W3W (What3Words), a service that allows users to view a location based purely on the three words searched.


 * The collection, which has received Royal Approval from Her Majesty the Queen, was designed by Glazier Design with each stamp featuring word and number puzzles provided by Mensa to amuse and intrigue. These puzzles are a mixture of logic and non-verbal reasoning. The stamps also contain many other secrets – codes, places, messages and words hidden in microtext and cyphers, which are special codes that disguise the words in a message, making the message secret. Codebreakers need to work out the key to solve the cypher. They are all visible on the stamps, but you might need a magnifying glass and code-breaking skills to solve them all.
