Tank Trouble

Tanks are destructive but being able to drive one would make you feel pretty cool or awesome or both which is why Tank Trouble is here to help with that. While not driving the tank directly, it appears that you're controlling a little RC tank through a maze over which you have a full bird's eye view perspective. The tank is cute and colorful but it isn't alone since other tanks are also driving around the maze and they're anything but friendly. To have any chance of getting out, you'll need to be the last tank standing by using clever maneuvering and creative aiming.

About Tank Trouble

Games about tanks seem to go all over the place from extremely realistic to extremely outlandish. This game is definitely leaning more toward the latter and a toy-like take on the whole experience. It gives a whole relaxed and somewhat innocent air to the whole scenario since these may as well be model tanks using model weapons and the only thing making them devastating is our own imagination. It's also a fairly quick game that lets you jump into a variety of matches to play as long as you want until you win or until you're satisfied.

How to Play

Tank Trouble is a top-down 2D game about controlling a tank through a maze and firing at other tanks using the mouse or keyboard. Whether you're playing locally with friends or not, you have the option of three different control schemes .

Control Scheme 1

• W - Move Up
• S - Move Down
• A - Move Left
• D - Move Right
• Q - Fire Weapon

Control Scheme 2

• Up Arrow - Move Up
• Down Arrow - Move Down
• Left Arrow - Move Left
• Right Arrow - Move Right
• Spacebar - Fire Weapon

Control Scheme 3

• Mouse Cursor - Lead Tank Around
• Left Mouse Button - Fire Weapon

The goal of each match is to be the last tank standing. Each round spawns each tank in a different location. The tanks must then navigate through the maze to try and eliminate each other. All tanks start with a standard cannon weapon that shoots a small cannonball-like projectile . The tank will always fire in whatever direction that it's facing. When there's only one tank left, that tank earns a point and the next round begins. The tank with the most points at the end wins the match.

Tanks only have one form of attack and that's to use their equipped weapon. The cannonball that they start with can bounce off and around maze walls in order to hit targets around corners. However, metal plates around the maze will appear that tanks can collect to gain new weapons . These range from homing missiles to mines, to laser-sight cannons. Each weapon has a limited amount of ammo, but more can be collected in other parts of the maze. There are also gold coins that can be collected as well to serve as currency for aesthetics.

Tips and Tricks

You may be tempted to just spam shots as much as possible, but remember that your projectiles are just as dangerous to you as your opponents. You should also be cautious when using explosives as some have shrapnel which can just as easily backfire on you.

Math Games: Tank

The tank artillery game is a classic exercise in numerical estimation.  Choose the power and angle your tank fires with to eliminate the enemy – then upgrade your tank and weapons.  This game is a ton of fun, and it helps your math skills at the same time.

Game Rules:

Use the up and down arrow keys to change the barrel angle.  Move your tank with the left and right arrow keys.  Change your firing power and weapon with the mouse.  Zero in on your enemy's position with a series of educated guesses.

Math Skills:

Numerical Estimation – Choose a reasonable starting power and angle and then make corrections as you systematically find the exact values need.  The better you are at making estimations and corrections, the more often you will win.  In mathematics, we often ask ourselves if an answer is reasonable – we estimate a probable value and compare it to the one we have.  This game helps give you that important mathematical ability - numerical estimation.

An angle of 45 degrees gives you the maximum distance, so leave the angle there, and change the power only.  Fire a shot and determine whether to increase or decrease the power.  Zero in on your opponent with this algorithm.  Math is a system of solving problems.  Use math to increase your skill in this game, and the game will in turn, increase your math skills.

So how can you get team members working together?

The truth is, on a day-to-day basis, you have to prepare for the unexpected. It just happens that team building activities help with that, but are so fun that they don’t have to feel like work ( consider how you don’t even feel like you’re working out when you’re playing your favorite sport or doing an exercise you actually enjoy! )

What are the benefits of group problem-solving activities?

The benefits of group problem-solving activities for team building include:

• Better communication
• Improved collaboration and teamwork

• In addition to hypothetical questions, you could also give teammates some optional answers to get them started
• After that, let them do the talking — then they’ll be laughing and thinking and dreaming, too!

13. Crossing The River

“quite the conundrum”.

Crossing The River is a river-crossing challenge with one correct answer. Your team gets five essential elements — a chicken, a fox, a rowboat, a woman, and a bag of corn. You see, the woman has a bit of a problem, you tell them. She has to get the fox, the bag of corn, and the chicken to the other side of the river as efficiently as possible.

Why this is an effective group problem solving activity: She has a rowboat, but it can only carry her and one other item at a time. She cannot leave the chicken and the fox alone — for obvious reasons. And she can’t leave the chicken with the corn because it will gobble it right up. So the question for your team is how does the woman get all five elements to the other side of the river safely in this fun activity?

• Form teams of 2 to 5 people
• Each team has to solve the imaginary riddle
• Just make sure that each group understands that the rowboat can only carry one animal and one item at a time; the fox and chicken can’t be alone; and the bag of corn and the chicken cannot be left alone
• Give the verbal instructions for getting everything over to the other side

14. End-Hunger Games

“philanthropic fun”.

Does anything bond people quite like acts of kindness and compassion? The End-Hunger Games will get your team to rally around solving the serious problem of hunger.

Best for: Medium-sized teams

Why this is an effective problem solving group activity: Teams join forces to complete challenges based around non-perishable food items in the End-Hunger Games. Groups can range in size from 25 to more than 2000 people, who will all work together to collect food for the local food bank.

• Split into teams and compete to earn boxes and cans of non-perishable food
• Each team attempts to build the most impressive food item construction
• Donate all of the non-perishable foods to a local food bank

1.  A cistern can be filled by a tap in 12 hours and by the other tap in 9 hours. If both taps are opened together how long will it take to fill the cistern?

Time taken by the 1st tap to fill the cistern = 12 hours

Therefore, work done by the 1 st tap in 1 hour = 1/12

Time taken by the 2nd tap to fill the cistern = 9 hours.

Therefore, work done by the 2nd tap in 1 hour = 1/9

Therefore, work done by the both taps in 1 hour = 1/12 + 1/9

                                                                 = (3 + 4)/36

                                                                 = 7/36

Therefore, both taps will fill the cistern in = 36/7 hours.

2. A pipe can fill the tank in 5 hours.  Due to leakage at the bottom it is filled in 6 hours. When the tank is full, in how much time will it be empties by the leak?

When there is no leakage, the pipe can fill the cistern in 5 hours.

Therefore, The pipe fills 1/5 th part of the tank in one hour.

When there is a leakage, the pipe can fill the cistern in 6 hours.

In case of leakage, the pipe fills 1/6 th part of the tank in one hour.

So, in 1 hour due to leakage (1/5 – 1/6) th

                                      = (6 – 5)/30 th

                                      = 1/30 th

The part of the tank is emptied.

So, the tank will be emptied by leakage in 30 hours.

3. A tank can be filled by two tap A and B in 8 hour and 10 hours respectively. The full tank can be emptied by the third tap in 9 hours. If all the taps be turned on at the same time, in how much time will the empty tank be filled up completely?

Time taken by tap A to fill the tank = 8 hours

Time taken by tap B to fill the tank = 10 hours

Time taken by tap C to fill the tank = 9 hours

Therefore, tap A fills 1/8 th part of the tank in 1 hour.

Tap B fills 1/10 th part of the tank in 1 hour.

Tap C empties out 1/9 th part of the tank in 1 hour.

Thus, in 1 hour (1/8 + 1/10 – 1/9) part of the tank is filled.

(45 + 36 – 40)/360 = 41/360 th part of the tank is filled.

Thus, tank will be filled completely in 360/41 hours, when all the three taps A, B and C are opened together.

Fraction Shaded And Quarter Tank Problem

Posted September 1, 2024 By Presh Talwalkar. Read about me , or email me .

Here’s a simple question that 80 percent of 12 year old students in New Zealand missed. Is 1/4 of the circle shaded? The vertical line segments are equally spaced across the diameter of the circle.

A more advanced question: calculate the fraction that is shaded.

Another advanced question: Solve for h such that 25% of the circle’s area is shaded.

(This is also known as the quarter tank problem. Many tankers are cylindrical tanks that rest on their side. A practical way to measure the fluid level is to insert a rod and see the level. What percentage of the tank’s height is needed so the fluid is 25% of the tank’s capacity?)

As usual, watch the video for a solution.

80% of students get this wrong

"All will be well if you use your mind for your decisions, and mind only your decisions." Since 2007, I have devoted my life to sharing the joy of game theory and mathematics. MindYourDecisions now has over 1,000 free articles with no ads thanks to community support! Help out and get early access to posts with a pledge on Patreon .

(Pretty much all posts are transcribed quickly after I make the videos for them–please let me know if there are any typos/errors and I will correct them, thanks).

The shaded area is clearly not 1/4 of the circle as the four regions are not equal parts. The shaded area will be smaller than the region to its left, so its area will be less than 1/4 of the circle.

To calculate the precise value, construct radii to the endpoints of the chord of the circular segment. Since the vertical line segments are equally spaced, the middle line passes through the circle’s center, and the right line divides the radius into two equal parts of r /2. To the left of the circular segment is 2 right triangles with hypotenuses equal to r and a leg equal to r /2, so each triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

We can then apply the formula for the area of a circular segment with a central angle of 120 degrees = 2π/3 radians.

0.5 r 2 (θ – sin θ) 0.5 r 2 (2π/3 – sin (2π/3)) 0.5 r 2 (2π/3 – √3/2)

Dividing by the area of the entire circle gives the fraction that is shaded.

0.5 r 2 (2π/3 – √3/2)/(2π r 2 ]) = (2π/3 – √3/2)/(2π) = 1/3 – √3/(4π) ≈ 19.6%

So the area is nearly 1/5 of the circle, a little bit below 1/4 of the area.

When will the area be exactly 1/4? We can do the following construction.

Now we set the area of the circular segment equal to 1/4 of the circle’s area.

0.5 r 2 (θ – sin %theta) = π r 2 /4 0.5(θ – sin %theta;) = π/4

We will not be able to find an exact value for θ, but we can find an approximate value using a numerical solver.

θ ≈ 2.3099

In the green triangle, we can solve for y

y = r cos (θ/2) ≈ 0.5 cos (2.3099/2) ≈ 0.202

Then we have

h = r – y ≈ 0.5 – 0.202 ≈ 0.298

Thus the height needs to be approximately 30% of the height.

Digital escape rooms typically come in one of two forms: in a Zoom room and led by a host, or in a choose-your-own adventure format via Google Forms or websites. To play escape rooms virtually, enter a video meeting and follow the prompts, or screen share the Google Form and work out the puzzles together.

Check out our full list of online escape rooms .

7. Murder Mysteries

Murder Mysteries are story-based games that ask players to take on the roles of suspects or detectives while trying to identify a killer. These games often involve reading lines from a script, searching for clues, and occasionally solving puzzles to get hints.

These games make participants pay attention to conversations, analyze other characters’ behavior, and search for hidden meaning in the script. Players must use their powers of observation and logic to unravel the mystery.

Check out our list of Zoom murder mystery games .

8. Treasure Hunts

Treasure hunts are scavenger hunts with intention. While virtual scavenger hunts often ask players to collect random items, treasure hunts require participants to locate clues that lead to other prompts and hints. The game typically ends with players finding a treasure or solving a mystery, sometimes both.

The treasure hunt can have a specific theme such as secret agent missions or a hunt for pirate treasure, or you can run a more general hunt. Teammates can either compete simultaneously via Zoom call, or can play the hunt on an app individually and compete to beat each other’s scores.

Check out our list of treasure hunt apps .

9. Poem or story challenge

Most team building problem solving activities for employees revolve around science, math, and logic. Poem/story challenges rely on writing skills and are sure to appeal to the language lovers on your team.

Each player receives a limited word bank to use to create a story or poem. Then, players have a few minutes to craft their pieces. Afterward, everyone reads out or screen shares their creations.

Here are a few word challenge activities you can do remotely:

• Found poems or stories : Participants make poems or stories out of words they find by visiting websites, searching emails, glancing out the window, or taking a walk or drive around the neighborhood.
• Random word generators : Teammates use a random word generator to populate a word bank, and must use each word in the poem or story.
• Poetry magnets : Group members make poems using poetry magnets. You can send poetry magnet sets to employees and assemble the verses on a cookie pan during a Zoom call. Or, teammates can play with poetry magnets online .
• Page poems: Participants receive one page of a book or magazine, and must make a poem or story by blocking out other words so only the chosen text remains visible. This activity is part storytelling, part art, since story crafters can illustrate the pages as part of the design.
• Ransom note stories or poems : Players cut out letters from magazines and must form new words to make poems and stories. Or, players can receive a mix of random letters, form words, and run the text through a ransom note generator .

These activities are suitable for teams and individual players.

10. Moral challenge

Some problems are ethical rather than factual. Moral judgment plays just as important a role in the decision-making process as technical prowess. Players can flex their moral problem-solving skills by tackling ethical dilemmas or social puzzles.

Here are some social problem solving games online:

• Moral machine
• Scruples – the game of moral dilemmas
• Morality play

To play these games, either download the apps, or pull up the website and then screen share the prompts. These games are best played when discussed as a group, because the more belief systems and opinions, the harder an issue is to resolve. These exercises provide practice for real-life conflict resolution.

You can find similar challenges on our list of online personality tests .

11. Frostbite

Frostbite is a group game that hones team leaders’ communication skills while sharpening teammates’ listening and cooperation skills. The premise behind the game is that a group of explorers gets caught in a snowstorm and must build a shelter. Frostbite has paralyzed the leaders’ hands and snow-blinded the rest of the team. The leader must give the team instructions to build a tent that can resist arctic winds.

To play Frostbite, each teammate wears a blindfold. Then, the leader gives directions. Once the structures are complete, players turn on a fan to test whether tents can withstand the wind.

Frostbite is usually an in-person game, however you can also play virtually. In the remote version of the game, teammates construct tents out of cards and tape, while the leader surveys the scene on screen.

This exercise demonstrates the challenges of leading remotely, as teams need to operate with minimal oversight or supervisor observation. Therefore, instructions need to be clear and direct to be effective.

12. Virtual Hackathons

Hackathons are events where participants have a set amount of time to design and pitch a new product or solution. This type of event originated in the programming world and is often used to create new apps, however you can apply the game to any industry or school subject.

Virtual hackathons are online versions of the event. Teams enter the competition, then work with each other via virtual meeting software or remote work communication platforms to design the solution. At the end of the competition, teams pitch ideas to a panel of judges and a winner is decided.

To run a virtual hackathon, first announce the theme of the event and collect sign-ups. So that no teams work ahead, hint at the general idea of the issue, and only explain the precise problem when the event begins. Then, give teams anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete the project.

Discover more virtual hackathon ideas .

13. Improv games

Improv games are excellent problem solving activities. These exercises force participants to think and respond quickly to keep scenes moving in a logical and entertaining way.

Here are some good problem solving improv games:

Banned words : Performers cannot say certain words. Scene partners will conceive of situations that encourage the actors to use those words, and the actors must find alternatives, such as using synonyms or taking the scene in a new direction.

Scenes from a chat : Audience gives a suggestion for a scene, and players act the scene out. Though it’s a fictional and often ridiculous scenario, actors must react to the situation and solve the problem in order for the scene to end.

Miracle cure : Miracle cure is a quick-moving exercise that follows a simple format. One player declares, “I have a problem.” Another player responds, “I have a….[random object.]” The first player then replies, “great! I can use the [random object] to….” and describes how they will solve the problem.

14. Spaghetti Tower

The spaghetti tower is a classic team building game. Participants gather uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows, and must construct the tallest freestanding tower.

During the in-person version, players must construct one tall freestanding tower. However, for the virtual version of the game, players construct individual towers. You can send groups to breakout rooms for the build, then reconvene in the main room for judging. Teams are judged on three main factors: number of towers, height, and uniformity.

This version of the game not only tests the structural integrity of the tower, but also consistency and quality control. This exercise teaches teams to align and collaborate remotely, and produce a consistent product even when far apart.

15. What Would You Do?

What Would You Do? is a simple situational game that challenges participants to react to different circumstances. To play this game, read prompts one by one, and then ask participants to respond with gameplans. You can use the polling or raise hand feature to vote for the best option.

Here are some problem solving scenarios for adults or kids to use in the game:

• Zombies attack and you have to find a place to hide.
• You are at the zoo and the animals escape. Which one do you try to corral back into the pen first?
• After waiting in line for hours, someone cuts in front of you last minute. The person appears to be visually and hearing impaired, and doesn’t notice your protests. An official announces that due to diminishing supply, this individual will be the last in line to be served.
• You are eating a meal with important clients and/or your partner’s parents, and you want to impress. The individuals make you a dish that does not fit within your dietary restrictions, but you do not speak the same language and cannot explain why you do not want to eat.
• An imposter has infiltrated the organization, who looks, speaks, and behaves exactly like you. How do you convince your peers that you are the original?

For similar dilemmas, check out this list of Would You Rather? questions.

16. Desert Island Survival

Desert Island Survival is a game that challenges players to prioritize. The premise is that players have been stranded on an island, and must decide what order to perform survival steps.

Here are the possible actions:

• Set up shelter
• Explore the island
• Try to signal for help
• Make weapons for self-defense
• Build a raft to escape the island
• Start a fire
• Choose a group leader
• Search for other survivors

All group members must agree on the order of the steps. Players should explain the reasoning for the order of each step while ranking the actions.

Another version of the game involves players receiving a list of 15 to 20 items, and selecting five or so to bring to the island. You can also vary the location of the game, substituting remote islands for destinations like outer space or the distant past.

17. Choose Your Own Adventure

Choose Your Own Adventure stories enable readers to determine the outcome of the story by making decisions. Each action has a consequence that takes the tale in a different direction. Participants can try to guess how the story may unfold by talking through the different choices. When completing the activity in a group setting, the majority of the team must agree on an action before moving forward in the story.

There are a few ways to facilitate these activities online:

• Play an online role playing video game
• Watch an interactive movie like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
• Read from a Choose Your Own Adventure book on Zoom
• Click through a Choose Your Own Adventure platform
• Create your own story using a Google Form

Whichever way you choose to do the exercise, you can use the screen share feature in your virtual meeting software so that listeners can more easily follow along.

18. MacGyver

MacGyver is a show where the hero escapes sticky situations by improvising tools out of unlikely materials. For example, in one episode the hero makes a telescope out of a newspaper, magnifying lens, and a watch crystal.

To play MacGyver, you can either list three to five objects participants can use, or challenge players to use items that are within arms reach.

Simply state a desired end result, such as “a way to open a locked door,” or “a getaway vehicle,” and then ask teams to explain what they will build and how they will build it. To make the activity more collaborative, you can give teams five or ten minutes in breakout rooms to strategize and design a prototype.

19. Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons is a roleplaying game where players pretend to be magical figures and creatures. One player serves as the dungeon master, who guides the game, while the other players pick characters and make decisions to move the story forward. Upon choosing a course of action, players roll a twenty-sided die to determine whether or not the plan succeeds. The game is story-based, the possibilities are nearly limitless, and truly creative problem solving options arise. Also, since gameplay is mostly verbal, Dungeons & Dragons is an easy activity to do over Zoom.

Here are the basic rules for Dungeons & Dragons .

20. Pandemic

Pandemic is a game that pits players against the forces of nature in a race to contain and control disease outbreaks. At the beginning of the game, each player receives a role such as containment specialist or operations expert. Participants must carry out the duties of their roles by choosing appropriate actions. Pandemic is a great game for groups because each team member has a clear part to play, and players must collaborate and work together instead of competing against each other.

To play the game online, you can use a Pandemic game app , or talk through the exercise while one attendee moves and displays pieces on the board.

Note: The subject of this game might hit too close to home for some players, considering recent history. You can find games with similar mechanics that deal with different subject matter, such as Forbidden Island.

21. Model UN

Model UN is one of the best virtual problem solving activities for students. This exercise casts participants in the role of international diplomats who must negotiate to solve realistic problems. Each player assumes the role of a country ambassador and must form alliances and propose solutions to solve crises.

Here are some sample Model UN scenarios:

• Human rights violation by powerful country
• Food shortage
• Disease epidemic
• Technology privacy violations
• Civil war branching into surrounding countries

Depending on the size of the group, participants either take on the part of an entire government of a country, or play a certain role within the government. To carry out the activity on Zoom, players can take turns giving speeches, message other countries privately via the chat, meet in breakout rooms to form alliances or have more intimate discussions, and use the polling feature to vote on propositions.

If politics does not resonate with your group, then you can alter the exercise by applying the same activity structure to a different theme, such as the Justice League, movie characters, business board members, or reality TV stars.

The main purpose of the exercise is to research, talk through problems, and compromise. As long as these elements are present, then the specifics of the setup do not matter.

There are many types of problem solving activities for adults. You can do online problem solving games, which require a different skill set than in-person problem solving. For instance, communication must be much clearer and more abundant when group members are far apart and unable to demonstrate or pick up physical cues.

Though many problem solving games include props and in-person elements, there are many games you can play together online. These exercises work well as educational tools as well as team bonding accelerators. Upon completion, participants are likely to feel a sense of accomplishment and increased confidence. These games are also great practice for real life conflict resolution, creative thinking and team building.

If You’ve Got A Personal Care Issue That Makes You Feel Like Hiding Under The Covers, Try These 23 Problem-Solving Products

No need to shrivel up. You got this.

BuzzFeed Staff

1. A box of maximum-strength  one-step wart-removing pads  with extra cushioning so there's no discomfort while they work their magic.

Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! I bought the invisible strips, and they removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!!  I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there !" — Audrey N.

Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29+  (available in three styles).

2. A vegan under-eye brightener  to help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin. You'll look like you've had days of sleep...even if the truth is you haven't slept in days (gosh darn, those true crime documentaries!).

This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush.

Promising review:  "I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I’ve spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I’m very pleased with this product!" — Lafinrsm

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two tones).

3. An anti-acne sulfur soap  that'll help cleanse skin of dirt and oil buildup, potentially soothe psoriasis, and reduce breakouts. If you tend to have flare-ups in the summer, this soap might just be what your skincare arsenal has been missing. Don't let patchy, irritated skin be the reason you don't leave the house.

Promising review:  "Reliable for irritated   summer   skin. I get hives on my chest, neck, and inner elbow. I have been using this soap for years off and on. When I don’t use it, the hives come back. The soap keeps it in check. I gave a bar to my husband, who has a different issue, since this soap is good for all sorts of skin problems. It’s good for keeping down body odor, too." — KarenS

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 .

4. A lightly tinted  nail concealer  for help hiding any yellowing or stains you've got on your nails.

Londontown is a small biz making products that'll help keep your nails looking beautiful.

Promising reviews: "Highly impressed and satisfied with the purchase. I've been a nail-biter my entire life. I recently stopped biting a little over three months ago, and while I've been pleased overall with the growth, I've found that my natural nails have many imperfections. For instance, I have splinter hemorrhages, as well as white horizontal lines (aka Beau's lines) on every single nail on all 10 fingers, and the tips are transparent. But this polish literally disguises all of that. I'm so so grateful to have found it. " — Kourtnee amos

5. A dermatologist-recommended  antiperspirant hand cream  with a non-greasy and non-irritating formula since it can help soothe skin and reduce sweat. Buh-bye clammy hands!

Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple of weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working. AMAZING." — HECTOR LORENZO

7. A reparative  Cosrx snail mucin essence  with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that can help remove dark spots and fine lines. Several reviewers wrote that this K-beauty gem gave them that "glass skin" look!

Promising review:  "I was skeptical because I thought this was just an overhyped item, but within the first two days, I saw a noticeable difference in the glow and texture of my face. After a week, even more so. I already have a pretty solid skincare routine so I didn’t think this would make the big impact that it did. I highly recommend it, and it will definitely be a staple of my routine from now on." — andy

8. A hypoallergenic  Cosrx peptide toner  whose formula contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and amino acids to help even skin tone, boost elasticity, improve skin texture, and smooth fine lines. If you've been plagued by irritated skin, try this calming toner.

Promising review: "A true game-changer in my routine. From the moment I incorporated this serum into my regimen, I noticed a remarkable difference in the texture and tone of my skin.  Packed with potent peptides and collagen-boosting ingredients, it works tirelessly to firm and plump the skin, minimizing, in my case, the appearance of fine lines and pores. With continued use, my complexion looks noticeably smoother and incredibly radiant. One of the things I love most about this serum is that its lightweight formula makes it possible to integrate it into any skincare routine , layering effortlessly with other products without pilling or interfering with makeup application. And without leaving a greasy residue or sitting heavily on the skin. This serum sinks in effortlessly, delivering an instant burst of hydration. It doesn't clog pores or cause congestion. It's the perfect balance of nourishment and weightlessness." — SC

Promising review: "I have used this product three times now, and it has changed my hair drastically; it's so soft and glossy looking. I don’t even have to use any leave-in products because it’s so easy to comb through right out of the shower. So inexpensive and better than any hair salon products I’ve used in the past. Works better than K18 or Olaplex." — Alyx Ming

These are strong, so you should spot-test them first! Each box lasts two months.

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99+  (also available in packs of 20 and 30).

12. A fungal nail renewal formula  if you've been living with thick, discolored, and brittle nails, which has meant not wearing open-toed shoes. This can help improve the look of your nails in as little as two days!

Promising review : "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil and various other products for years. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present, even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. " — WIAPilot  

Get it from Amazon for  $18.50 .

13. A pore-control  Anua heartleaf extract cleansing oil  for gently and effectively ridding your face of dirt, makeup, and blackheads. This hypoallergenic K-beauty formula has soothing ingredients that won't cause clogged pores.

Promising review:  "My go-to cleansing oil.  It melts makeup and SPF quickly and without much effort. I like using it more as a skin cleanser than a makeup remover just because it has helped my skin glow by making my skin texture better and getting rid of blackheads!" — Ravishankar Rao

Get it from Amazon for $17.69 .

14. A bottle of dandruff shampoo made with ketoconazole because it can help relieve and control flaking, scaling, and itching caused by dandruff. Clean and clear scalps for all!

Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars, then I would!! My husband has suffered from extreme dandruff/Psoriasis for years to the point that he would pick constantly at his scalp. I would be able to visually see large sores and peeling skin chunks constantly, no matter what shampoo/treatment he would use. I found this product by chance and told my husband about it, who was willing to give it a chance (he’d more than given up on finding a solution to his problem at this point). After two shampoos he said that he absolutely noticed a difference and did not feel that he had to scratch his scalp. His sores healed within a week, and now he has a clean, itch- and flake-free scalp! This stuff worked absolute wonders for us, and I would recommend it to anyone with slight dandruff issues to extreme psoriasis conditions!" — Tabitha C.

16. An antimicrobial facial mist  that contains hypochlorous acid, which can help soothe minor burns, rashes, and irritations.

If you have sensitive skin, consider adding this on-the-go spray to your skincare routine.

This spray is safe to be used daily and won't leave behind any residue.

Promising review:  "Great spray! You get a lot of product for the price, and it’s an alternative to the Tower 28 spray . I’ve been using it for a week consistently now, and I have noticed improvements in my skin; the blemishes I had before are now gone and I don’t see any new ones forming. Great to use during the summer if you sweat a lot. You can refresh your face throughout the day if needed to get rid of any extra bacteria from sweating." — Dogmom99

17. A pair of stainless steel tongue scrapers  if you've been wracking your brain as to why your breath still smells even though you floss, brush, and use mouthwash. It could be the bacteria living on your tongue. Now, you won't need to fear having close conversations with friends and strangers.

They even come with their own convenient little case. 

Promising review:  "I recently purchased this tongue scraper, and I must say, it has made a significant difference in my oral hygiene routine. The scraper is easy to use and efficient in removing any buildup on my tongue. I have noticed that my breath stays fresher for longer, and my tongue feels cleaner throughout the day. The scraper is also easy to clean and store, making it a convenient addition to my daily routine. Overall, I highly recommend using a tongue scraper, and this one in particular is a great choice." — Kelsey

18. A nose wax kit  because tweezing individual nose hairs is just...no. Safely remove those noticeable nose hairs and know that they'll stay away longer.

The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out any harmful debris. But of course, it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as plucking nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs.

This kit includes 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 15 paper cups.

Promising reviews: "This is the easiest to use and takes care of nose hair. My new favorite beauty aid. 😉" — Jackie Phillips

19. A mattifying dry shampoo powder  whose benzene-free formula is designed to absorb excess sweat, oil, and dirt without leaving behind a white cast. If constantly washing your oily hair has left it feeling dry, refresh your hair with this volumizing powder!

Promising review:  "I have tried IGK, Living Proof, Not Your Mother's, Amika, and so many others, but THIS LASTS THE LONGEST! I am impressed by this product. Don't listen to the haters because I have severely fine and oily hair, and this product allows me to last for one week without washing, and it gives me volume without the toxicity of spray dry shampoo." — 473X

Get it from Amazon for $18 .

20. A CeraVe body wash  with salicylic acid and ceramides that'll help you deal with any "chicken skin" flare-ups caused by warmer weather. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling moisturized!

Promising review:  "I use these for nighttime. They are the best ones for me so far. Regular length, they don't scrunch up, they stay put and absorb really great. Plus, they are not perfumed. I have tried many other brands, and Poise is the one for me! I also use Poise Light during the day (regular length). You can't tell you have them on like the old days when wearing a period pad." — Leeloo

Get a box of 144 from Amazon for $30.73+ (available in five styles and smaller pack sizes).

22. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone because it'll soak up any excess oil. Instant matte skin FTW!

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill.  This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next.  I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." — Jennifer Helseth

Get it from Amazon for $9.48 .

23. A rejuvenating eye cream with vegan ingredients that absorb quickly into the skin to start the process of brightening and lifting your under-eye area. Perpetual late nights got nothing on this cream!

Promising review: "I never ever write reviews. I have tried every eye cream out there. Not one does what it says. This was immediate! I saw the softening of my wrinkles and crow's-feet. It’s amazing. I will be buying this again and again." — melisa delaney
