Can You Solve These Brain-Twisting Logic Puzzles?

Logic is one of humankind’s most defining traits. We use logic to figure out problems but also to work through personal conflicts and make plans. Of course, the concept of logic goes beyond just human reasoning; other creatures also use different forms of logic every day. For instance, when animals such as cats leap from one place to another, they are making all types of logic-based calculations before taking action. Squirrels are, by far, my favorite logic users in nature. I can’t tell you how many bird feeding contraptions the squirrels around my home have foiled in my attempts to keep them out of my birdseed! For humans, we use things like brain teasers to help exercise or mind’s logic muscles. Some people call them puzzles; others call them riddles. But whatever name you chose to use, the concept is usually the same. You have to answer a question by formulating a logic-based process (which can sometimes be outside your comfort zone). When you solve little puzzles such as these, you’re making your brain stronger and helping to minimizes and fight the effects of certain brain diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
