A new brain teaser claims that only people with high IQs can solve the puzzle in three seconds.
In this puzzle, viewers must guess the name of a country by combining three images.
In this photo you see a frying pan, the letter ‘A’ and an emoji of a mother standing behind her child.
If you manage to guess the name of the country within the given time, it means your intelligence score is 140 or higher.
These types of puzzles can tell you a lot about how you think and see the world, and can help you develop problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.
Only people with an IQ of 140 or higher can guess the name of the country in three seconds using these images
To solve this brain teaser, viewers must study the emojis and symbols closely to come up with the closest name that comes to mind.
The answer is formed by combining pan – a – ma to form the country name Panama.
If you don’t know the answer within three seconds, don’t be discouraged by an IQ of less than 140.
The average IQ (which stands for intelligence quotient) in the US is around 98. Men have an average IQ of 99 and women 97.
Gifted people often have an average IQ of 120 to 140, but only about two percent of the American population scores higher than 130, which would give them genius status.
Brain teasers are used to improve one’s logic and problem-solving skills, as well as concentration and spatial awareness.
It requires the person to think logically to answer the question correctly. This strengthens the connections between the person’s brain cells, improves thinking speed, and can improve short-term memory.
Brain teasers can help people improve their logical and spatial reasoning skills and consistent use can increase IQ by up to four points
Research has also shown that brain teasers prevent cognitive decline and increase mental agility and the ability to quickly process information.
A lesser known benefit is that the combination of developing these skills will improve your IQ.
Research from the University of Michigan found that people who worked on challenging brain teasers for at least 25 minutes every day increased their IQ by as much as four points.
These games also train both hemispheres of the brain: the left hemisphere controls your logical and analytical thinking, and the right hemisphere controls your creativity.
The brain is like a muscle and those who regularly train it with brain teasers will be more intelligent in the long run.
