Keep your road rage in check as you play the Rush Hour Traffic Jam Game.

We know what you're thinking - you hate traffic jams, so why would you want to play a game based on one?

Well before you go running for the hills you may be interested to know that this much-loved puzzle - and its inventor Nob Yoshigahara - have picked-up no fewer than 21 awards in the past decade. A surefire testament to the Rush Hour Traffic Jam Game's longevity, durability and worldwide appeal.

The objective sounds easy in theory. Drive your red car out of the playing grid and escape to freedom. But in order to so, you'll first need to set up the traffic on a game grid to match one of 40 playing cards, then shift all the blocking cars and trucks out of your way. This is more easily said than done, as a clear and transparent set of rules then come into play.

To proceed, one simply needs to move one vehicle at a time, in a long sequence of moves designed to free the red car from the logjam and out of the parking lot.

All of which will have one scratching one's noggin- and driving one to the web for a solution. Brilliantly infuriating - and infuriatingly brilliant.
