Because I told myself that the Egyptians worship the sun, and the creator of the puzzle wouldn't have written "Mother", if the person didn't have a child. Or else they would have written "Woman". Aaah... For number 10 (Egyptian, Mother), I wrote Sun or Son.

Less educated and more educated. And the research shows that is the case...no one is "too educated". There certainly are different approaches in different countries. We discussed this a bit with Eric Jensen http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2008/03/12/brain-connection-eric-jensen-on-learning-and-the-brain/ However, no country is perfect. Some education systems implicitly focus on attention and memory, others on cognitive flexibility, others on abstract thinking...it will be fascinating to observe how countries incorporate findings from cognitive science into their policies to help educate citizens who can succeed and prosper in a more globalized world.

I also agree brain exercises should be used more in less educated communities in order to (help) combat the educational gap that exist in America. I wonder if their are any cultural differences when it comes to brain exercise, are other countries ( like Asia ) already implementing this idea with their children? for #10, what if you spell Mommy correctly in your brain? - then could this be the reason it's harder to associate the two?
