First game - I briefly go through each shapes - Anchor on a particular shape - Check other shapes based on that shapes - Realize the number of cubes is the distinguishing factor not the shape itself - Exclude the first focused shape from future comparison - Try to compare 2 shapes randomly - And after 4 clicks of match attempts I find a match 2nd Game - Go through the first 2 rounds with ease as they were essentially…
First game - I quickly glance each shape - Select the ones that "feel" more similar. - Scored 13 on my first run Sometimes I think thinking less is better. Same for a lot of sports, things that require careful motor control and fast-pacing.

#8710 shapes 12 sec/shape (2nd try, no brute-force, mobile) 16 shapes (3rd try) 18 shapes (4th try) 24 shapes (5th try, no brute-force) P.S. I had 7 years of art school in addition to engineering
I only managed to break 10 after about a dozen tries..
