Altonian brain teaser

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

The Altonian brain teaser is an incredibly difficult puzzle that responds to neural theta waves. The game was available in Quark's holosuites in 2369, and Jadzia Dax played it on several occasions.

The game consists of a iridescent sphere, which the player attempts to turn into a solid color. To do so requires complete clarity of the mind, and the player must focus entirely on the task at hand, and no physical contact is involved. If, as was the case with Julian Bashir, one's mind is not focused, the sphere itself will disappear. Dax told him that she had been trying to master the game for 140 years or so.
