Default Nintendo Brain Training anyone?

Has anyone been using this? I got it as a birthday gift last month, and the initial evaluation was very funny. You have to take a short test to determine your brain age. My hubby, who's 49, had a brain age of 80; mine was 70 (though I'm the parkie here ) and - get this - my son in law, who's 30, had 60!
In the meantime, with a little practice, I managed to bring my brain age down to 42, but I don't seem to be able to improve beyond that, mostly because of a counting exercise that I can't follow with my eyes and a letter-number combination game that you play dragging a dot over the screen with the optic pen. My hand's not fast or steady enough.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I believe I've reached my ceiling in a little over a week and can't get no further. The trouble is that in order to get new and different exercises you have to master the first ones, and since I can't, I have to keep repeating them and I'm fed up now. In other words, Brain Training does not work for this parkie and is not likely to work for others, either.

Smirk Superior

Teresa

That just goes to show what we all suspected for some time that women are the superior of the species and that "a man must know his limitations"!!

"Of all the things I miss, I miss my mind the most" so I'm not taking the test..


I think I might pass the "how to change the font, colour and text" test on here though.
