I'm in my mid-30s. If there was anything we'd recognize as "edutainment" software in the 70s and early 80s, we couldn't afford it. Anyway, I have an average-software-engineer IQ, more or less, on tests in the 80s, and I can't remember ever doing much brain teaser or abstract shape puzzles -- those weren't interesting to me. I spent every waking hour I could reading past age seven or eight.
