    Brain Teaser for the Frontal Lobes: Tipping the Scales

    June 15, 2007 by Caroline Latham

    Here is a new brain teas­er from puz­zle mas­ter Wes Carroll.

    Tip­ping the Scales

    free brain teasers for frontal lobes

    Ques­tion:
    The top two scales are in per­fect bal­ance. How many dia­monds will be need­ed to bal­ance the bot­tom set?

    This puz­zle works your exec­u­tive func­tions in your frontal lobes by using your pat­tern recog­ni­tion, hypoth­e­sis test­ing, and logic.
    ANSWER:

    Four dia­monds

    SOLUTION:

    First add up the num­ber of clubs in the first two scales (5). Then count how many clubs are in the bot­tom scale (5). The do the same with the spades, which gets you 5 and 5. There are 4 dia­monds in the top two bal­anced scales. There­fore, it must take 4 dia­monds to bal­ance the third scale since all the oth­er mea­sure­ments are the same.
