Question:

Do sudoku puzzles raise your IQ if you do one a day?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I don't have any concrete data or facts, but... I've noticed that the puzzles become easier with practice. Also, I've acquired new methods of solving them. I'm sure the increase in logical exercise is beneficial, even if I/we don't notice it. But really, IQ just measures what the person making the the test thinks measures intelligence or is important to know. In a biopsychology class it was suggested that the only 'true intelligence' is street smarts. Can't measure that can we? Maybe we can and I haven't heard of it yet... and the idea that 'true intelligence' is street smarts is just an opinion and how credible is the guy that printed it the book? I've seen lots of rubbish in books... ever heard of Kevin Trudeau and his secrets that 'they' don't want you to know? Some of it makes sense, but there are, well, I could rant about him for awhile and you didn't ask about him, so... I hope I provided a little bit of useful/interesting information. Bottom line, thought, but my opinion, intelligence is a matter of opinion.
