For example, when faced by a problem, you must first build up a strategy of how this problem can be solved. This strategy will be based on the mental model you have in your mind of the environment surrounding the puzzle. You then try to execute the strategy and during this execution period, the mental model you have will either be affirmed or will modify as your perception of the puzzle environment changes.
Do not be afraid of failure in these games, it is actually through failure that the greatest learning occurs. Failing means that you have to go back and revise your initial strategy and perhaps your mental model of the environment and come up with a new plan. Failure in this case promotes creativity!
We'll start with a classic ancient problem solving game to get you warmed up. The Towers of Hanoi. The purpose of the game is to move all the rings to another peg, the problem is that you can never put a larger ring on top of a smaller one! It's easy when there are only 3 rings, but the more rings, the harder it gets...
You can chart your progress as it counts the number of clicks you make and shows your history too. Good Luck!
