An in depth look at the skills this test will accomplish:

Planning

• Description: Planning is a fundamental cognitive process that enables us to anticipate and prepare for future events. It involves the ability to make decisions about what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how it should be done. When we have a high level of planning ability, we can anticipate and predict the consequences of our decisions. This allows us to make more informed and effective choices. By thinking several steps ahead, we can develop a well-defined strategy to achieve our goals, and we can use our resources more efficiently.

The game is characterized by having one central factor that we must find to reach a solution. We call this factor the Core of the Problem.
