Brain-flexing activities to flex

your brain

The selection of brain-flexing activities are
divided into five categories: Identify,
Memorize, Analyze, Compute, and Visualize.

Identify

You'll need instantaneous decision-making.
The key here is trusting your intuition and going with your gut.

Memorize

Numbers and pictures, order and placement...
Commit the information you see to memory.

Analyze

Read the rules and answer the problems.
Not over-thinking things can lead to flashes of insight.

Compute

Mental gymnastics, using numbers.
The calculations might be simple, but don't
underestimate the challenge posted by this Stretch activity!

Visualize

Using the on-screen figures and shapes as hints,
form different combinations and utilize different
viewpoints in your mind, until you hit upon the answer.

Measure your cumulative Big Brain Brawn score in Test mode.

Once you've built up a big, brawny brain
in the Stretch activities, challenge yourself to Test mode.
Solve problems from five categories,
and analyze your Big Brain Brawn score.
