One of the best things about it brainteasers is their diversity and the many different forms they can take, as well as the amount of creativity that can accompany them.
The three main types brainteasers are observational, analytical and mathematical. Analytical brainteasers often present the user with a written riddle that must be figured out and solved.
Mathematical brainteasers on the other hand, you ask a math question that can range from very simple to very difficult and complex. Observational brain teasers like the one above normally start with an innocuous image or collection of images.
Within that innocuous image, however, the person must discover the anomaly. In this case, the task is to try to spot a strange aircraft in a sea of otherwise identical planes.
Have you seen the strange plane? Don't worry, if not, the answer above is circled in red. The plane in question can be seen five rows from the left of the image in the fifth column.
The difference between these aeroplane and the others are the wings on this airplanes are a slightly darker shade of blue compared to the others.
The key to solving this mind game is to carefully scan the image from left to right and top to bottom, assessing each aircraft before deciding which aircraft is the odd one out.
Brain teasers like these are great for stimulating the brain and giving the mind a great workout. They can be performed in a wide range of scenarios, both on the road and in a waiting room.
Brainteasers can also help improve a person's health. They act as an exercise for the mind, just as running or cycling exercises the arms and legs.
Furthermore, the healthier the mind, the less likely you are to develop a neurological condition such as Dementia.
This doesn't mean that brain teasers will stop someone from developing dementia; other factors may have a much greater impact, but they can help keep the mind sharper for longer.
Dementia is one of the most devastating circumstances anyone has to deal with. Despite the development of new treatments, there is no known cure yet.
