Virtual Team Brain Storm: Update!

This week, Team Brain Storm looked at research that revealed physical, social, and mental activity may protect memory and alertness. For example, mice raised in an “enriched” environment, which contains other mice and a variety of stimulating toys, displayed dendrite growth and performed better on learning tasks than inactive, isolated mice did. Thus, mental, social, and physical stimulation are all positive regulators of neural growth and seem to have an additive effect on learning and memory.


In our brain teaser for the week, team members had to find the odd ones out in the following groups of words. Each group of words has TWO words which do not belong.

Here is an example to get started:

Lily - Jane - Tulip - Rose

Jane does not belong as it's the only one which is not a flower.

Tulip also does not belong because it's the only one which is not a girl's name.


You're on your own for the rest! Answers are below.

1. Dodge - Ford - Lincoln - Hoover

2. King - Earl - Knight - Bishop

3. Yellow - Green - Dead - Black

Have a great week!
