Sometimes there is a trick to the question that requires the brain to do some "out of the box" thinking. Other times, you just need to use good old logic and reasoning.</p><p>Research shows that our brains need challenge and stimulation in order to spur the growth of new neurons, and brain teasers are a good way to give our brains a little exercise. They also strengthen problem solving skills and encourage creativity - not to mention they're usually free and you can do them anywhere.</p><p>Ranging from easy to extremely difficult, there are teasers suitable for all ages and interests.</p><p><strong>Here are three classic brain teasers for you:</strong> (you'll find the answers at the end of the article)</p><p><strong>1)</strong> If it were an hour earlier, it would be twice as long until noon as it would be if it were an hour later. What time is it now?</p><p><strong>2)</strong> You call a pizza place to order a medium pizza. The person taking your order asks if you want it cut into six or eight slices, then explains that the eight-slice pizza will cost you an extra $2.00 since it's a larger pizza.</p><p><strong>Question: Is this right?</strong></p><p>Recognizing patterns is a right brain activity. See how it</p><p>performs with this teaser:</p><p><strong>3)</strong> Review the following sequence of numbers:</p><p>2, 2, 4, 12, 48, ?</p><p>What number comes next?</p><p>Got your answers? Check them against the ones below to see how well you did.</p><p>Answers: 1) 9am 2) No. You ordered a medium pizza. Cutting it into six or eight slice doesn't change the size. 3) 240. Multiply 2 by 1 to get 2. Then multiply 2 by 2 to get 4. Multiply 4 by 3 to get 12. Then multiply 12 by 4 to get 48, and finally multiply 48 by 5 to get 240.</p></div><div id="sig" class="sig"><p>Erin Matlock is the Editor in Chief of the popular <a id="link_73" target="_new" href="http://www.braintraining101.com/">brain training</a> site - Brain Training 101.
