Is this one of those cereal questions?
                  -or-
Is it reserved for junk food only?

If you MUST have "52 C in a P (WJs)" then, for consistency, you should at least say "52 Cs in a P", and "24 Hs in a D", "26 Ls of the A", etc.

And anyway it should be "26 L in the E A". There are other alphabets, you know, and not all of them have only 26 letters.

How about "..   40 D B, W F A C A E"  

And 14 should be "15 P in a R U F T" - some people play R L.

Is this really from a MENSA test?
So i have to be catholic in some fashion and a sports fan to be in? Some obscur cultural referenced q's also, like the 9 lives cat, baker's dozen and lucky 13
I understand it is the deduction process that is important, but i dont see how could some of those be resolved without some knowledge i dont associate with 'inteligence'
This puzzle originally consisted of 24 "equations" by Will Shortz, printed
in the May-June 1981 issue of Games magazine, with an acknowledgement to
Morgan Worthy.  Games ran several followups in subsequent issues, and
reported that people kept resubmitting the puzzle to them, sometimes as
original work!  Many people have now added to the list of equations.
The 24 original ones are starred (*) below.
