How smart are you?

[Finnish Swede]

Mortimer seems to think that I'm stupid. Let's see how ''clever'' that gypsy is and the rest of you ...



I own ''few'' brain teasers (cubics) ... already that might tell something ... now which one of those do you think you could solve or have solved (without any help/instructions etc.)?


1. level



2. level



3. level



4. level



5. level (standard Rubik's cube)



6. level



7. level



8. level



9. level

You are a lier because I was friendly to you and said that you are smart everyone can reread that quote where i said you are stupid?

At least it sounded like that (between the lines) ...


Ok, better now. It is good to remember that there are many kinds of intelligence.


Now how about those cubics?

I do not remember ever trying I do not know if I could solve it

Rubik cube is difficult to me, so im dumb

I would not say so. Firstly, I put it in the middle of the list. Some might say that they can solve it (but they often just will follow learned instruction ... doing it the same way every time). Doing it by yourself ... it is not so easy.


For me the most difficult once are those giga cubics (having 12 sides). They someway feel that they have ''upper half/side'' and ''lower half/side''. Normal cubics 3*3*3, 4*4*4, 5*5*5 etc. are more easy to see all the time.

I imagine it to be difficult and that you maybe require a similar type of intelligence like finding your way through a pyramid or finding a place without navigation? I do not think it is every type of intelligence though you are right that there are different types of intelligence

So, solving rubik's cubes=smart?

This alone sounds very pretty stupid.

Nope, but if you are simple/stupid, I doubt you can do it either (without instructions)? Can most of average persons do it? I doubt it again.


Some of those cubics starts to be really hard. Now, if you know how to solve 9-sides cubics: (3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5 etc.) ... you can ''use'' the same tactic partly as trying to solve similar size 12-sides giga cubics, but it is not just like that. There is a good reason why the biggest normal cubic I have is 7x7x7, but the biggest giga cubic is just 5x5x5x5.


And if you do not believe me, you could try this 21x21x21 cubic. Perhaps it could offer you enough challenges? ... I found/faced me own limits earlier.

What kind of smart? Book smart or street smart? ;-)

There is no correlation between intelligence and solving Rubik's cubes or puzzles; they are simply algorithmic.

Sure, these are great methods for improving cognitive skills, maintaining mental sharpness, and improving memory, but that's about it.
