DR. OBVIOUS presents "1 Point of I.Q." #1

Greetings acolytes of The Church of Cool.

I, DR. OBVIOUS, have been summoned to provide for you intellectual stimulation through regular mental flexation and incontinence. Intelligence is not something to be scoffed at, and has been proven to increase your physical comeliness by quantifiable measures. Why, it's all that the good Dr. can do to bat away mewling predators of the opposing sex every time he walks out of doors clad in his lab coat. Excelsior!

Did you know: Isaac Newton's only recorded utterance while he was a member of Parliament was a request to open the window?

Perhaps he wanted an apple?

This week's brain teaser is a game entitled, "Gravity Pods," in honor of Sir Isaac. In Gravity Pods, one controls a turret, which shoots a yellow bullet into a purple vortex. But, as with most things in life, there are obstacles. Walls block your path, and you must use attractors and repellers to curve the bullet to its destination. Levels 1-10 are practically a tutorial. Levels 11-20 introduce attractors. Levels 21-30 introduce repellers. Levels 31-40... moving walls!? Levels 41-50... the good Dr. has not reached these levels as of yet.

Best game feature: it stores a cookie in your browser, so you can close the window and reopen it on the level you're trying to complete.

Worst game feature: pure heroin for the geometrically inclined.

Warning: level 25 will add the 1 point of I.Q., but it will do so at the cost of 1 point from your soul.



Happy gravitating!

Dr. Obvious
