I'm resurrecting this thread instead of creating a new one...

I must say I love this program, I can't call it a game, but one thing is sure, it WORKS!

The first day, my brain was old and tired (80 years is the worst you can get). The game consists of training exercises:
-Head Count: People enter and leave a house quickly, can you figure out how many there are in the end? This one helps you concentration, observation and memory skills
-20xCalculation: Math! DUH! (It might get some numbers confused until you get the hang of it!)
-100XCalculation: More Math!
-Reading Aloud: reading is good for your brain...
-Low to high: Memorize the numbers and tap where they were in order from low to high!
-Syllable Count: I sucked at this, but apparently you eventually get better!

You can unlock harder versions and new training programs after a few visits...


Then you can take on the brain age test itself you do three random tests:

-Word Memory: You have 2 minutes to memorize 30 words, and 3 minutes to write down as many as you can. I use visual images, it helps a lot!
-Stroop Test: Say the color of the word and not the color word itself!
-Speed Counting: How fast can you count to 120?
-Connect Maze: Connect the letters and numbers in order (A->1->B->2...) as fast as you can!
-Number cruncher: Pay attention to the numbers and answer the questions!
-CalculationsX20: Math won't hurt your brain no more!

After about a week, it's gone down to 26! And 20 is the best you can get!

Also there is Sudoku...
