It took the Parker Brothers 10 years to release another genus set, after 1984's Genus II. The resulting edition - Genus III - features brand new categories and the easiest questions of any genus set. In fact, half of the categories feature better-than-coin-toss odds. Interestingly, the Science & Nature questions - traditionally the easiest - are tougher than any other genus edition's.
