The document discusses several mathematical games and puzzles including the Tower of Hanoi, Tangram, Rubik's Cube, and Sudoku. It provides the objectives and rules of each game as well as their psychological applications. The Tower of Hanoi involves moving disks between rods under rules of only moving one disk at a time and not placing a disk on top of a smaller one. Tangram uses seven flat shapes to form different shapes without overlapping. Rubik's Cube and Sudoku involve manipulating pieces to solve combinations puzzles. These games and puzzles are used in psychological research and testing to evaluate problem solving skills and brain function.
