These little puzzles are more than just fun. They train our logical thinking skills and attention to detail.
In France, where word games and riddles are a favorite, these puzzles are a great way to stimulate thinking, like a sudoku or a crossword puzzle .
In addition, they increase our vigilance against the pitfalls of mental automatisms , the very ones that sometimes cause us to misinterpret everyday situations or complex information.
In conclusion: take the time to play with your logic
The next time you’re asked a riddle, take a deep breath, put your brain into “director” mode , and have fun calmly visualizing the steps.
Because after all, these little challenges are also there to remind us that thinking differently is sometimes the best way to avoid being fooled by our own mental shortcuts!
