Brain Age Chronicles: Day 2

Published Wednesday, April 19, 2006 by Mike A. | E-mail this post

Today I did a Brain Age Check without using the microphone. Apparently from now on it involves three tests at random, so that's a little more fair.

The first test was Calculations X20. Twenty rapid-fire equations, with handwriting recognition on the touch screen. I only missed one, because I messed up a number.

The next one was some kind of counting game, which involved me writing down a number based on various different types of instructions. Those instructions were things like "how many RED numbers?" and "how many blue numbers?" and "how many pulsating numbers?" I'm not even kidding. I missed like two of those.

The third test was pretty much evil. Thirty words are displayed across both screens, and the game gives you two minutes to memorize as many as you can. You then have three minutes to write down all the words you can remember. I'm pretty sure I got 18/30, but I, um, can't remember.

After all was said and done, the little polygon doctor man was delighted to tell me my score.
