post your brain age score and discuss, if you like.

My brain's age - 20 (but I'm 16, so...)

anyone having trouble with blue? I personally don't, but I have a friend who can never get the game to recognize it.

EDIT: For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, heres a LINK. Brain Age is a nintendo DS game.
 
i haven't played in over a week. my sister temporarily stole my ds so she can play sudoku.

Last time I tested my brainage i was down from 37 to 25. So i was improving. lol.

And I would come by these scores, how?

😕 link please?
 
I've never had a problem with Blue either. I get mad that it misinterprets some of the numbers I write occasionally, like reading 4 as 11 or other such nonsense.

In the one where you have to memorize the 30 words, sometimes it takes me forever to get it to recognize the word I'm spelling, which is frustrating because meanwhile I'm forgetting other words.

My best so far was 26 brain age, though I've only had the game for a week.

Is this game as good as everyone claims it to be?

It's alright. Fun for a few minutes each day, especially trying to improve your basic calculations x20 time. I got it for free so I'm not complaining.

unless you want a DS Lite from best buy.
 
I've only played it once and mine was like 23 or something. I'm 24 so it said my brain is younger than I am lol.

But yes, I do have a problem with the blue as well. I have to say it like 3-4 times usually, and it usually only picks it up if i say it in 2 syllables ... like BUH-LOO.

I will own anyone at the damn 20 calculations though ... anyone.
 
What is brain age supposed to indicate? If I'm 34 with a 20 year old brain am I immature? If I'm 20 and have a 40 year old brain am I some kind of uber-genius? Or did I drink too much in high school?

My best time is 15 seconds. yours?

Whoozyerdaddy: brain age is a superficial calculation of how quick your brain is. The best score is 20, stemming from the assumption that at age 20 your brain is the quickest and fastest. It doesn't mean a whole lot, it's basically a score of how quickly your brain can do the activities in the game.
 
I always have trouble with it recognizing my 8s. I eventually have started to write them differently, but it still doesn't work too well. And don't even get me started about the word memorization game.
 
Picked up a ds and this game. I cannot say blue to save my life, so that game is out of the picture. And the word memorization game makes me want to cry.

I'm going to change my strategy for the memorization game. I'll spend my 2 minutes memorizing, then jot down the words on a real notepad once my 3 minutes start. That way im not cheating, but wont forget some words as i'm trying to get it to recognize my letters.

yea, i'm having problems with the handwriting recognition as well. it thinks all my letters are capital, so even though its the correct word, its wrong. once i get 9 or 10 properly entered i've forgotten all the other ones!
