00:00 Hey, you're gonna like this one!
00:02 7 riddles that will test your brain power!
00:08 Our brain is a mysterious thing.
00:11 We know more about stars than about the things inside our heads.
00:15 But what we do know about the brain is that it gets less sharp and productive with age.
00:19 "What'd you say?"
00:20 Never mind.
00:21 Do you want to test your brain power and calculate its approximate age?
00:26 Watch this video till the end to find out the results.
00:29 You have a maximum of 20 seconds for each task, but try to answer the questions as fast
00:35 as possible.
00:38 Counting down, here's test #7.
00:43 Take a very close look at these two photographs.
00:46 What is the mistake they have in common?
01:08 If you still can't figure it out, let's turn the photos upside down.
01:12 It looks horrible, right?
01:14 The eyes and lips of both women are upside down, but your brain doesn't recognize
01:18 that immediately.
01:19 The thing is, the brain is not used to seeing eyes and lips in that position.
01:24 There is another interesting experiment.
01:27 Some people can turn their tongues upside down.
01:31 Hit the "like" button if you are one of them.
01:33 If you can, do it and touch the left side of your tongue.
01:36 It will sense the touch from the opposite side because evolution never taught the brain
01:41 to read the sensations on the tongue in that position.
01:48 Test #6.
01:51 How many holes does this t-shirt have?
01:53 Mine?
01:54 Oh, the one on the screen.
01:56 Never mind.
02:17 The question doesn't specify which holes exactly, so the right answer is 8.
02:22 They are the neckline, 2 sleeves, the bottom of the t-shirt, and 4 holes in the middle.
02:28 2 in the front and 2 in the back because we can see the background through them.
02:35 Test #5.
02:38 How would you name this tree?
03:00 Write the names that came to your mind in the comment section below.
03:04 But the actual challenge was to notice the camouflaged bird on the tree.
03:08 If you did, well done!
03:17 Test #4.
03:20 Can you manage this one in 5 seconds?
03:22 I'll give you 20 seconds, but try to solve it as fast as possible.
03:45 The mistake is not in the numbers or their colors.
03:48 The mistake is that the word "spot" appears twice.
03:52 Your brain doesn't always show you the reality.
03:54 It often shows what it is used to.
03:57 There are many short texts on the Internet that have repeating words that most people
04:01 don't notice until they finish the text and read the description.
04:05 If you have bad eyes, you might've noticed that things, most often words, you couldn't
04:10 see from a distance, become clearer when somebody tells you what's written there.
04:14 It's not that your eyes became better.
04:16 It's your brain completes the picture.
04:21 Test #3.
04:23 Do you see a hidden baby?
04:26 That's not mine either.
04:46 If you follow the thin branches of the tree, you will see the outline of a baby in the
04:51 fetal position.
04:52 Its feet and toes are on the right side of the picture, arms are in the middle, and head
04:57 is on the left.
04:59 One more thing, it's good that he doesn't have teeth because his bark is better than
05:03 his bite.
05:08 Test #2.
05:11 Which line is longer?
05:33 Of course, line A is longer.
05:35 It's so obvious, right?
05:37 Well, not for everybody.
05:38 Or rather, not always.
05:41 There was a research on conformity that looked like this.
05:44 Five people were asked which of two lines was longer.
05:47 The answer was always simple, but four of the tested people were asked to lie.
05:52 So technically, there was only one real subject.
05:56 The people lied very convincingly, so the subject didn't want to stand out and gave
06:00 the wrong answer.
06:02 The same phenomenon can be illustrated with jokes.
06:05 If you're in a group of people and somebody tells a joke that everybody finds funny, you
06:10 will laugh too, even if you don't get it or don't think it's funny.
06:14 Well, maybe not you, but approximately 75% of people do so.
06:18 Of course, everybody laughs at my jokes, right?
06:23 Liars!
06:26 Test #1.
06:30 Can you spot Mike Wazowski?
06:52 There he is!
06:53 Green, but still very different.
06:55 Now, let's talk about your results.
06:58 If it took you more than 20 seconds to answer each question, or you didn't manage all
07:02 the tasks, it means that you have the brain of a mature person.
07:06 It's hard for you to make your mind see beyond the obvious, and you can't handle
07:10 change easily.
07:11 Wow!
07:12 If it took you less than 20 seconds, your brain is quite young, and you can approach
07:17 tasks from different angles.
07:19 If you answered each question correctly in less than 5 seconds, your brain is very young
07:24 and flexible.
07:25 You can notice the tiniest details right away and adapt to new situations easily.
07:30 As for those of us with mature brains, hey, don't worry!
07:33 As the saying goes, you're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
07:38 So what is your result?
07:40 Tell us in the comment section below!
07:45 Like this video and share it with your friends to compare your results!
