AI models flub these intelligence tests. Can you fare any better?

AI models struggle with certain types of puzzles that humans find relatively easy, particularly spatial reasoning tasks like mental rotation (visualizing objects from different angles) and logic puzzles with subtle variations. Research shows that while AI has improved rapidly at some puzzles like the New York Times Connections game, it still fails on visual puzzles and can be tricked by slight changes to familiar problems because it relies on memorized patterns from training rather than true reasoning.
