Need Some Brain Teasers? Try gBrainy!

I’ve been playing “Brain Age” on my DSi and I’ve been having fun but it really is challenging sometimes. I just started and my brain age at the moment is still drifting between 36 and 40. The ideal brain age is 20 so I need some training! The game encourages daily training. Just some short games to help make your brain age younger. And guess what? A similar application exists on Linux! gBrainy is available to test your memory, logic and calculation.
Playing the game:
You could choose one category to start with or you could select the “All” option which gives you a mixture of all these categories. Some questions are of the multiple choice type but others require you to compute the values and give the answer directly on the space given. Just press the enter key when you’ve answered the question already. To get to the next item, press enter again. When you’re done, you will see a graph of how well or how poorly you did in the game.
There are also settings you could tweak for the game:
- Level of difficulty. Choose: Easy, Medium, Master. The default is Medium.
- Number of seconds for you to memorize the puzzle/problem in the memory game.
- Number of games to be saved.
You don’t have to get bored at work anymore. gBrainy will help you by challenging your brain to do some mental math or figure out some logic puzzles.
