A great source of useless information me :)

Re: This will drive you nuts
 

raistlin, read 'working memory' as RAM, and imagine it working in someone's head, rather than in a PC. you can use it to do lots of things - like compare the pictures on that game here, but it does have a limited capacity.

the idea we were on about is that apparently people with a higher IQ have a higher capacity of working memory, and, as mental imagery uses working memory, people who are better at the game, according to the people who made it, will have a higher IQ.. or something.. but it seems like they used a very loose interpretation of these ideas when they were designing it, as it isn't really difficult enough to tax your abilities.

Good explanation. Somebody give that guy a rep, as I can't :)

Re: This will drive you nuts
 

This has little to do with IQ. I have got it up to a score of 500 in about 2 minutes by using an image merge technique, and could carry on way beyond this. Just go cross-eyed and merge the two images into a third one in the middle. Focus on the centre image and any differences in the two images will "glow". Just click on the glowing square in the central phantom image (which isn't there really, just in your head!). You can use this technique to solve "spot the difference" puzzles very easily.

There are >30 of them. I didn't spot it within the time limit on no. 23, but managed all the other ones... (up to 330 so far)

[Oh - hang on - there are more... the server is responding very slowly atm.]

It says at the bottom of the page:

So I might give it a rest in a mo'. :)
