Here's an internet game that actually requires that you use your brain. It's pretty tough (I think) even if you're good at spacial problems and probably impossible if you're not. The premise is to make your "house" match all three perspectives using only the number of blocks given. A little green dot will appear next to the problem number when you match the picture and it will turn yellow when you've done it in the proper number of blocks. I'd recommend NOT starting with 1 as I think that was the hardest. I actually had fun playing this teaser but I'm fairly sick in the head. Enjoy.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
