照理來說大人應該比小孩更能解答邏輯方面的問題,但下面這道題目似乎就不是如此囉。國家地理頻道使用這張照片向大家提出一個簡單的疑問「這台公車往哪裡開?」
![Which direction is the bus travelling in? National Geographic have created a version of a popular logic puzzle for their Brain Games TV series, but it often proves too much of a challenge for adults](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/56b46a0e1d739.jpg)
你想到答案了嗎?(我還沒) 沒想到這個讓大人想破頭都還不一定回答得出來的問題,竟然有8成小孩在10秒內就給出了正確答案!

其實這個問題的邏輯非常簡單,由於面對我們這面的車身沒有門,因此以左駕的台灣來說,這台公車是往左開。但是如果是右駕的國家,這台公車就是往右開囉!
![The key to solving the puzzle is the fact there's no doors visible, meaning they're on the other side. If you're in the UK the bus is travelling to the right, and in other countries where people drive on the right hand side of the road, the bus is travelling to the left](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/56b46a0f2a9ac.jpg)
一般來說小孩子回答問題的方式都較為直覺,傾向使用第一眼看到的視覺線索或從過去的經驗判斷問題的答案。用這種方式解答通常都比較容易出錯,但是速度卻很快。相較之下大人比較善於回答複雜的問題,但是在遇到簡單直觀的問題時反而容易因「想太多」而遲遲找不到答案。

有大人也是第一眼就知道答案的嗎?快分享出去給朋友們看看他們是不是還在用小孩的腦袋思考問題吧 (咦?)
