The Teased Brain

The following is not a test of your knowledge or your intellect. It is, rather, an exercise in intuition and creativity. It has the curious property of punishing "hard work." Answers come easier if you relax and let the subconscious parts of your mind work them out.

Most people can answer between 1/3 and 1/2 the problems in the first sitting. The balance tend to come over the next several days, often at unexpected times.

Give it a try! All you have to lose is several night's sleep.

Example problem: 4 Q in a G
