Mind games: Puzzles, the brain and you!
Run time: 20.30 – 21.30
Unpick the hilarious science of puzzles with comedy group Three Queers and a Welshman.
Join them to solve the world’s hardest puzzles, delve into what makes your brain a puzzle-solving powerhouse, and uncover why elephants are better at solving puzzles than humans.
Your hosts are a quirky quartet made up of mathematician Max Hughes, animal behaviour expert Alice Morrell, and neuroscientists Eva Higginbotham and Liam Collins-Jones. Each brings their unique perspective on identity and science, and how we might solve some of society’s biggest brain teasers.
Enjoy an hour of laughter and discovery as we explore what puzzles can reveal about who we are.
