Working memory test
Reverse this in your head
A short working-memory challenge that tests whether you can hold and transform a sequence.
Quick answer
Answer: 8 - 1 - 4 - 9 - 2 - 7
The reverse order of 7, 2, 9, 4, 1, 8 is 8, 1, 4, 9, 2, 7. The hard part is holding the digits while transforming the order.
