It has been proven that you do actually get smarter by 'exercising' your brain everyday. This can be done in many ways. So far I have been playing brain games like this one I found on spudtech: http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/3dlogic

I was reading in the popular mechanics that subjecting your brain to a series of small problems stimulates the entire brain mean while a single problem less of the brain is used. Mathamatical games like suduko will also help you. Reading is also good, as it improves your language skills but it isn't as stimulating.

It also says that game played on pc/xbox/playstation/ect. stimulate your brain with a barrage of small problems that you solve as you play. So games are good for your brain.

It took me about an hour to finish. I got stuck on 3 of the levels. The rest were easy.

A dude on spudtech said he finished in 30 minutes.

Took me 3 different days of trying, but i just got to level 30 and it took me about 5 minutes to defeat it. Level 26 was the hardest by far for me, the rest i did in 5 minutes or under! I love these kind of games, for me it's just deductive reasoning, if it don't go one way it will work another! Or is that simple mechanics? Eather way i finaly did it.

Well done, you get a pat on the back :D

There is always a solution, it is trial and error. I can't find any more good games similar to this one.

Rubic's cube allways sucked, but i liked the missing link, i solved it in 23 seconds with a room full of witnesses, they all tryed it and only 2 could solve it, hehehehe! If i find any i'll hook you up and you do the same.
