Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Jun 03, 2013)

A Baked Treat



(Thing 1)

I, at the start, am old

Many centuries I've been told

Used by the Greeks

For counting techniques

After things were bought and sold



Later is when I became known

As an infinite figure, when shown

You've counted my spaces

Over two billion places

And still, my amount is unknown



(Thing 2)

I, too, am not young

I'm almost as old as Thing 1

I'm just a frog

On the natural log

But I can make counting fun



(Thing 1 and Thing 2)

When you combine us two

In the order of Thing 1 and Thing 2

We'll be a baked treat

That's painful to beat

Whether cherry, peach, or aloo

Today's Daily Trivia Quiz (Jun 03, 2013)

Do You Have This Phobia? VI

How well do you know the names for the phobias that almost everyone has one or more of? Watch for the clues!



Take the Quiz at Braingle.com

Creativity : Mental Taste

Close your eyes and try to imagine the taste of the following things. Once you get good at this, try to do it without visualizing an image of the item.



1. Broccoli

2. Chocolate Brownies

3. Grilled Cheese Sandwich

4. Milk and Cookies

5. Milk and Pickles

6. Rat



Does this exercise make you hungry? Studies show that just thinking about food can make your stomach think that it's about to get fed. This exercise helps builds the skill of your underused sense of taste.



Try making up your own items to repeat this exercise.

Memory : Order Matters

If you are trying to remember a list of items, the order of your list makes a big difference. Many studies have shown that items at the beginning and end of a list are easier to remember than items in the middle. You can use this fact to your advantage by placing the harder or more complex items at the end of a list. You could also spend more time on the items in the middle.



For example, suppose you want to memorize some French phrases before going on a trip to France. Try putting the longer and more difficult phrases at the beginning and end of the list and the short simple phrases in the middle.



Another method of making sure you give equal attention to all the items in a list is to use flash cards and shuffle the order every time.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Sublime

sub-lime



adj :: Lofty, grand, or exalted in thought, expression, or manner.



"As a poet he was a sublime success." --Marshall, H.E.
