Brainteasers are a great way to push the mind to its limits and keep one of the body’s most important muscles healthy.
There are several types of brainteasers, some are analytical, some are mathematical, and others are observational.
This brainteaser by Bright Side is of the analytical kind. In the image above a man is confronted by three exits.
Behind one is a lion, behind another is a poisonous gas, and behind the third is a room full of mirrors which, using sunlight, will burn the man if he enters.
Your task is to work out which door the man should enter to escape the old and dilapidated house he has found himself trapped in.
Did you work out the answer?
No worries, the answer is here. According to the creators of the brainteaser, the door with the sunlight and mirrors is the one the man should choose.
The reason for this is all he has to do to escape is to wait until the sun sets to walk through the room without being burnt.
Brainteasers and other forms of brain puzzles like this one are very useful for testing the mind and keeping it sharp.
While they can also be done to kill time on the morning commute or in a quiet expert, some experts believe these exercises could help maintain long-term health by potentially reducing someone’s risk of developing a neurodegenerative condition such as dementia.
