Just because it’s a short Holiday week, doesn’t mean you can let your brain off too easy.
The nine squares inside the main red grid should be filled with the digits 1 through 9. Each digit should appear only once in the mail grid. One of these numbers (the 2) is already provided for you. Place [...]

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 male patrons [...]

Sorry Sweisen, another week, another easy math square. Send your complaints to Mental Floss. Hopefully it’ll help you get your brain out of the tryptophan-induced haze a little.
Your brain may need a post-Thanksgiving jump start, so here’s a new Brain Game Math Square to get you going for the week.
The nine squares inside the main [...]

The last time I posted one of these number puzzles, I got a lot of complaints as to how easy it was. Well, Mental Floss has given us a second puzzle. Like the first time, I have yet to do it, but I imagine it’s probably just as easy. My apologies in advance, G.O.A.T. (Sweisen) [...]

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 make [...]

The other day, I shared with you Google’s new music search function. In an never-ending effort to improve the quality of your life, I bring you two more ways Google can make your life better. The first is tangible. The second is just interesting/thought-provoking.
1) You can set up your regular voicemail through Google Voice:
It sounds [...]

I know everyone probably had a long weekend of Halloween fun. I know I did. But now everyone needs to get their brains back into thinking mode.
Last Monday, I posted a Math Square puzzle from Mental Floss. This Monday, I do the same:
The nine squares that make up the main grid should be filled with [...]

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 nine squares that make up the main grid should be filled with the digits 1 through 9. Two of these [...]

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 to get [...]

The baseball brain teaser from a few days ago was fairly involved. Wernick, inspired by his trip to a boring sport’s Hall of Fame, managed to email me the answer first:
The first batter hit a single;
the second batter was called out on strikes;
the third batter hit a triple (scoring one run);
the fourth batter walked;
the fifth [...]
