What Intellectual Decathlon is

Intellectual Decathlon is a puzzle game developed by Muse Software and released in 1984. It is available on Apple II only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

A competitive game of mental gymnastics for up to 6 human players, Intellectual Decathlon pits the contestants against each other in a series of ten events - structured and scored just like its athletic counterpart, but exercising the human mind instead, testing various aspects of the intellect. Each event may be practiced on its own, but for the full game, all ten are played consecutively; each has its own rules for scoring, and comprehensive instructions are provided. At the end of the contest, the player with the highest cumulative score wins.
