A Riddle a Day is Good for You
So, we bet you are wondering if doing these types of puzzles has any purpose. They certainly do! So, let us shed some light on the matter at hand. As has been noted, according to the Irish Times, solving puzzles and riddles every day is a great brain workout for everyone. However, these puzzles need to be ones you haven’t attempted previously.
“Puzzles aren’t just great for improving concentration, but can also help boost your mental abilities. Basically, your brain loves to learn, and that includes the skills you’ll need to solve a sudoku, crack a calcudoku or fill in a futoshiki. Accordingly this suggests that you should tackle as many different types of puzzle as you can, and ignore the temptation to stick to what you already know. In other words, you’ll get the greatest mental benefit by solving puzzles you haven’t tried before.”
