Dailies
First up, starting the day with a game of chess. Then, moving onto a quick Typeracer match, Typelit page and Monkeytype test to yourself typing quickly, warming up to quickly type out a solution to a Project Euler problem.
That might be quite an intensive task, so next up we’ll cool down a bit with a bit of Sudoku, followed by a fun game of Chessle. Now that your mind has relaxed a bit again, let’s try an International Maths Olympiad! Just one question, don’t worry :)
By this time, you probably want to move somewhere else, so let’s do something we can do on the go if you want to: Lichess tactics and Chess.com puzzle. Now that you’ve moved a bit, let’s explore the world in a Geoguessr game and make sure you know the country names in Globle!
Now, just before we finish up with some proper thinking, let’s combine the previous two dailies into Worldle, then play the regular old Wordle.
However - you’re pretty bad with animal names. So, brush up on them here! :D
Finally, we’ll end this morning’s dailies by making sure you can still program somewhat! Here’s a little list, choose a few to explore today:
