Puzzlebrains

Has anyone been watching Beat the Brain - I'm finding multi-tasking to be virtually impossible!

Yes, I find that REALLY difficult too! Although I was much better at counting the bananas in the fruit machine thing than getting the correct number of people on the bus, in which I failed abysmally . The word ones were the easiest by a very long way for me, followed by the orienteering "satnav" questions.

Me too, the bus I can't do, or adding on one side and counting on the other.
The missing words in between other words I can get instantly and the hidden words in the sentence.
I like the clock ones too, where you have figure out where the view is from the position of the objects.

Yes, the clock ones are good - I can always do those fairly easily, looking at things backwards comes as second nature to me - I can write in mirror writing almost as fast as I can write in normal writing!

I found the ones with the dice really difficult though. I couldn't remember the pattern of the last one when I had a new one to look at.

How do you even find out that you can do that!

Well, I like a challenge. And someone challenged me!

I just watched it. I knew which order the balloons popped spatially but didn't even register what colours the balloons were. But I was distracted by the irritatingly false, smug voice of Josie Lawrence doing the voiceover for the brain.

And you know you just set yourself up for some really good challenges, don't you Bunny? (Before anyone jumps in, there is a difference between a dare and a challenge.)

Might need some. I just told my boss I'm leaving at the end of term!

I meant to say, I was first attracted to the programme by the name. But sadly found out that it wasn't quite what I had hoped for...

Yes, well, we can all guess what you hoped it was about...
