exercises for mental fitness

[Turion]

Do you know of any mental exercise, brain training games that can improve your mind?

Have you ever used these exercises or techniques?

Hanoi is a good brain exerciser!  You have to figure out how to get an entire stack of stones to the other side, but you can only move one stone at a time and when they reach the other side they have to be in size order.
 
The Rubik's cube is another great brain trainer.
 
Here's a site I found; I haven't used their games yet but I will definitely start!

i tried a few different games on that site Cecile, there are a variety of games and puzzles there. i got a bit addicted to one of the flash based games. one thing i thought was odd about my reaction times was my left hand being quicker than my right although i am right handed. odd.

yesterday in work i had a break and i was looking through somebodies paper, on the second page of the paper was a brain exercise, this is in the paper everyday, also there is a puzzle page in that paper with some good brain training puzzles.  code breaker and sudoku, suduko... sodoku whatever it is called.

i was impressed by the fact that a national newspaper has a permanent brain train puzzle on its second page. and a full page of puzzles. it is obviously something that its customers appreciate, and i thought this was great.

I couldn't stop playing the flash game -- the brain reflection one where you have to click the box as fast as you can when it changes color.

Maybe your left brain is dominant...

That's pretty cool about the paper!  I love brain puzzles and trainers.
