Only Those With A High IQ Can Crack These Tricky Tech Brainteasers

Only the cleverest and most determined problem-solvers can quickly crack these tricky, technology themed brainteasers, created by the global engineering experts at
RS.

On average it takes just under one minute to solve both puzzles, which were designed specifically for World Computer Literacy Day, which is on 2nd December.

The first one challenges your ability to follow the lines and match up the three mice with the three computer screens.

On average it takes 27 seconds to solve this one correctly. Can you do it faster?

Did you know that the first computer (that resembles the machines we see today) was invented by Charles Babbage between 1833 and 1871.

He worked on it for nearly 40 years on it, showing amazing determination!

The second puzzle challenges you to discover which switch turns on each of the six bulbs.

Follow the six wires, one by one, to work it out and see if you can beat the average time of 31 seconds.

Did you know that the first light bulb (like the ones we use today) was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879.

He made a bulb that burned long enough to light a home for many hours, replacing oil lamps and candles.

How did you do? The answers are blow if you need a helpig hand.

If you’ve managed to solve both the puzzles quicker than the average, maybe it’s time to start a new career in the tech industry, or just declare yourself a genius!
