Mental ability and human comprehension

[Viper_Jatt]

Percy C. Wason's famous (among cognitive psychologists) card selection puzzle can shine some light into the corners of the human mind struggling to understand something just a bit out of easy reach. It shows a little of why science is so difficult, even when extremely simple. And it speaks simply, but subtly, to the hypothesis that reality is only a mental construct with no existence "out there."




And while you are at it; here is a scientific fact:

Birds see "higher dimension" color than do humans. Human color is three-dimensional. Bird color is four, five, or six dimensional. Full color is potentially infinite dimensional: this is the wavelength discrimination a spectroscope gives us. That "infinity-space" color is one of the things it took humans a long time to discover, and it remains today one of the more difficult concepts for us to understand.
We are, in fact, visually blind to the color a bird sees and somewhat "logic blind" to the knowledge it gets with its color vision.

if you have understood the first one you will realise how simple it really was but when you come to abstract puzzles this one is a good one to start of with...but it might take you way too long (decent way of saying you cant solve it) so just check this one out:

Albert Einstein wrote this riddle, and said 98% (I actually wonder how he calculated the probability bit! this is more of a puzzle to me than the puzzle itself!) of the world could not solve it.

i got the answer to this and you canfind it too just google search for einstein riddle...

but before you look up the answer just think about the puzzle for a bit...its real cool even if you cant solve it!

A door to door salesman is trying to make a sale to a young mother. During small talk to establish a rapport with the women he asks, "How old are your children?" "I have three and the product of their ages is 36," is her response. The salesman responds, "You haven't given me enough information." To this the woman replies, "The sum of their ages is the same as the number on the house next door."
The salesman leaves perplexed and is troubled for a few days. He then returns to see the mother and tells her he needs more information. To this comment the mother replies, "My oldest child takes piano lessons.
How old are her three children?
