I don’t think this is the most accurate way to describe it. It’s considering the mind as separate from the brain. There’s also no true version of the problem to “beam” into the brain. That would just be a third version. Our brains aren’t purely general purpose problem solvers. There are parts of the brain that are specifically related to facial recognition versus all images. We’re better at recognizing differences in faces versus buildings. There seems to be a similar “hardware acceleration” for problems about people following rules (can’t remember the source for this). People generally do better on problems if you can frame them as who is breaking a rule, who is lying, etc. I think the last example would still be easier to solve on average even if it was a rule unfamiliar to people.
