    This will drive you nuts. The site instructions are in Japanese, so read below!

    1. Touch ʼstartʼ
    2. Wait for 3, 2, 1.
    3. Memorize the number's position on the screen, and then click the circle from
    the smallest number to the biggest number.
    4. At the end of game, the computer will tell you the age of your brain.

    Yay, I just got 8 years younger! I'm sure I can do better though.
    That's a good exercise Karen, I was waiting for some ghoul to leap out and scream at me, especially with it being Halloween!
    Nice one.

    Well there's good news and there's bad news.
    Good news first I lost 20 years.
    Bad news - I'm older than the rest of you.

    That was upsetting. I gave up after the number of digits got above about 4. It was set up much like the test that revealed my learning disorder in my 40's. At the time I was practically in tears of frustration over it. The test I got was oral and I had to do the numbers in reverse order, but it's interesting to find that I have a similar problem with this one, which also required that I remember the order of numbers. So this has given me a useful piece of information about my disabilities. It won't surprise anyone to know I am terrible at card games or multiple path mental exercises like chess. My memory fails me.

    On the other hand, I excel at high speed, single path, deductive reasoning. I once learned a half-semester of Symbolic Logic in a single 14 hr study session and solved every problem on the final exam correctly (except for one I transposed a ~ symbol in copying but solved it correctly as written. So, I suppose it's another example of how our brains can make lemonade from being transgendered.

    Thank you Karen for a very productive and educational experience in understanding my messed up brain.
