Your Mind With Fun Brainteasers
In
this page, you will find some multilingual visual
puzzles you can use to baffle your friends or to
teach kids critical and lateral thinking. Abracada-Brain™ puzzles
are logic problems that seem at first nonsensical or impossible
and resemble in some way koan
enigmas (one quite famous koan riddle is: "What
is the sound of one hand clapping?"). Koans are Zen
teaching stumpers especially designed for just one purpose:
to open the mind that has been closed by habitual responses
to the world and reality. In fact, to solve those puzzles,
it is important to go beyond the first impression and common
sense, and to think in a metaphoric way in order to make
connections between different levels of knowledge and/or
reasoning.
