QUIZ: Brain-teasers to get your head back in the game

Brain-teasers

Think you can figure these out?

The chances are, we’ve all experienced the dreaded afternoon slump during a workday. The average time it hits us is around 2:58 pm, when our brain power takes an unexpected hit.

Jobs that we were able to fly through earlier in the day take an age to get through, and productivity comes to a halt. All we need to get over this daily obstacle is a bit of a (gentle) kick up the arse. That’s exactly what we’re hoping to do with these brain-teasers, so time to put your thinking caps on.

Rules of the game

Basically, the idea here is to connect three unrelated words to one common phrase. This is called a Remote Associates Test of Creativity, and is meant to be a great way to gauge someone’s creativity levels.

One example would be having these three words as a clue;

measure / worm / video

The answer for this would be “tape,” as each of the three words is linked to it (tape measure, tapeworm, videotape). Once you’ve answered a few, you should be able to figure them out a bit easier.
