No, no training today. I don’t do that any more. My brain is too huge as it is. So I spent some time doing sudoku puzzles instead, taking my completion up to 34% done. I mainly did Beginner puzzles, but also did a couple of the Intermediate ones.
I’m considering retiring from Brain Age now. I’ve done more than two months and have getting an Age of 20 down pat. I got another one today. Of course, I’ll still be doing the sudoku puzzles (maybe one of them a day instead of the training). We’ll see…
Yet another successful day on Brain Age. Managed two more top-threes in the training, and another one and two near-misses in the Brain Age test itself. Overall Age for today? 20, of course!
Now I’m completely confused as to how your age is worked out.

I didn’t make a single …
I’ve completed a few more sudoku puzzles now, all of the training on Easy and Intermediate, and five easy and one intermediate puzzles.

I’m doing quite well, but the game keeps recognising my 8s as 6s, meaning I keep getting things marked as wrong when they’re not. Forgot to actually …
For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …
