Here is your chance to put your brain to the test. The following items were submitted to exercise your brain with a twist of fun. If you come across anything that stretches the mind, pass it along to Mj in an e-mail.

This is an interesting test of your observation powers. The point of this brain teaser is to "see" how many people you can spot in this picture. Hallucinations don't count!
	There are 9 people in this picture. If you find 6, you have ordinary powers of observation. Find 7, you have above average powers of observation. Find 8, you are very observant! Congratulate yourself! Find 9, you are extremely observant, very intuitive, and creative! You can rival the observant powers of Sherlock Holmes!

This will test your ability to take control of your brain and make it do what you want it to do.
	Say out loud what the words are and not what the colors are. If you find that you flub on some of the words, it is just that there is an inner conflict going on between the left and right side of your brain. The right side tries to say what the color is, but the left side insists on reading the word.

Take a look at this picture and see if you can tell whether the lines are straight or sloping? I couldn't figure it out!
