I'm not too sure whether I'm allowed to reproduce this but I am giving the web link to identify where I found them, their original source may well not be really known.

"A Japanese neuroscientist has found that "if you measured the brain activity of someone who was concentrating on a single, complex task -- like studying quantum theory -- several parts of that person's brain would light up. But if you asked them to answer a rapid-fire slew of tiny, simple problems -- like basic math questions -- her or his brain would light up everywhere. Hence the design of [the computer game] Brain Age. It offers you nine different tests, some of which seem incredibly basic -- like answering flash-card math questions -- and others which are fiendishly tricky."

and Next: Water Jug
"You have a four-liter jug and a nine-liter jug. You also have a pool of water.
What is the fewest number of steps it takes to come up with exactly 6 liters of water?
(A step is defined as pouring water into a jug. For instance, filling the four-liter jug and emptying it into the nine-liter jug would be two steps.)"
