It is difficult to find the time to exercise your brain as a working adult. Back when you were little and went to school, your job was to learn and nourish your brain through exercises and learning new information.
But as an adult, life is more about picking up the kids, doing the laundry, and shopping for food than learning the Pythagoras’ theorem.
However, exercising the brain regularly is important if you want to live a long and happy life. In the same way as it is important to keep your body in shape.
There are millions of brain teasers out there. Most of us probably think of crossword puzzles or Sudoku when we think about puzzles or challenges.
But today, thanks to the internet, there are many fun – and difficult – tests to tackle if you feel like moving those brain cells around.
