What are some good adult classroom setting Brain Teasers?
Could someone point me to some good brain teasers. Its hard to find adult style teasers that are short and just get the brain working again. Thank you.
One adult brain teaser website you might like is “Sharp Brains: Brain Fitness For All” (in partnership with Scientific American). In addtion to brain teasers and brain exercises, the site also gives the *reasons* for why people get stumped or goofed up on each brain teaser, which makes it especially interesting for adults (after they’ve made the attempt to solve the brain teaser, of course). Some of the brain teasers are interactive, but others are either written or oral sentences, such as:
(1) Count the number of times that the letter F appears in the following sentence (a surprising number of adults get this wrong):
“Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years." [Solution and Brain Explanation at http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2006/09/10/brain-exercise-brain-teaser/ ]
(2) How do you cut a cake into eight equal pieces with only three cuts? [Solution and Brain Explanation at http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2007/04/20/mental-imagery-and-spatial-rotation-brain-teaser/ ]
