Because one can never get enough football stuffed into one week, even Mental Floss is throwing together Super Bowl related brain games for us. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a brain game, but this one is fun, and doable. Enjoy.

Today’s Brain Game offers twelve anagrams of various football player positions; think [...]

Pretzels, with a Twist of Logic

By Wahl, on December 7, 2009, at 12:22 pm | Comments are closed

The last few Mental Floss puzzles I’ve put up have been the number squares. They haven’t been particularly challenging. Luckily, Mental Floss put up a logic game today. Not that it’s particularly difficult either, but at least it’s something different and will hopefully get your brain going on a Monday.

Bored, five of the [...]

I’ve had a severe cold since Halloween. It’s actually only gotten worse in the last couple of days, which explains why there haven’t been as many posts. But I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I need to get my brain back in shape. I haven’t done this puzzle yet (I need to [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve thrown a Mental Floss Brain Game up here. Monday morning seems like a good time for one. It’ll help jump start your brain after a nice weekend of football:

The last Mental Floss logic puzzle was pretty easy. Here’s the question. Here’s the solution.

Today’s Brain Game is a tad more difficult. It requires not only brain power but a healthy dose of European geography bee skills as well. I haven’t had my coffee yet this morning, so it took me a while [...]

Around & Around

Good freaking luck with this one. I gave up after 10 minutes.

What is the final number in the sequence (X)?

0, 0, 1, 2, 63, 61, 27, X

I’ll post the answer tomorrow.

Yesterday, I posted a little brain teaser. Apparently it was fairly popular. I got a lot of emails, IMs, and notes in the comment section about it, so expect a few of these on a more regular basis.

It’s been quite a while since I had any Mensa questions posted on here, but no better day to get your brain working than a Friday. This isn’t a Mensa question, I borrowed it from a different source, but it’s still quite difficult. I’ll post the solution tomorrow.

Following are 8 four-letter words and [...]
