HorsePerson and the ShoeMan

A 'Brain Helmet' developed at Bar-Ilan university claims to raise the user's IQ by 20% in just three months.

The helmet has a visor that fits over the eyes of users, putting them in a virtual reality world where they solve mathematical problems and learn to assemble and take apart three-dimensional objects.
...
[Dr. David] Passig says that, if the users wear the helmet 10 to 20 minutes a day for three months, their IQ can improve by as much as 20 percent.
