Solvin harder riddles means findin several rules at ance an haudin them in mind 3.

The riddles are the Sandia matrices, made bi researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, wha biggit saftware that combines the kinds o rules fund in Raven's test intae new riddles. In their study, the new riddles covered an extendit the range o difficulty o the original test 1. This is the same item set as the thinkin test in the Helibrain app. Ilk run draws 12 riddles at random, sae nae twa runs are the same.

Yer score is hou mony riddles ye solved. Acause ilk run draws a different mix o easy an hard riddles, ae score is a rough snapshot. We dinna compare ye wi ither fowk: this isnae an IQ test an disnae gie ony IQ nummer. Compare wi yer ain runs ower time.
