Mental Olympics

Back in December I was given a Mensa puzzle as a secret Santa present at work. It's now eight months on and I have a new respect for Mensa athletes.

It's a 3D noughts and crosses puzzle.

So normal noughts and crosses is fairly complicated, but this takes it to the next level. Mensa are kind enough to include some rules with regards to playing this game.

What? Three in a row? This is very complicated. No wonder these Mensa people are such geniuses. It's so complicated.

Anyway, I am determined to be just as clever as these Mensa people, but I'll be honest, I'm struggling. Eight months on and I haven't even come close to winning a game.

I don't know where I'm going wrong.
