Could completing a Sudoku puzzle in your lunch-break help fend off Alzheimer's disease? According to the Japanese neuroscientist, Professor Ryuta Kawashima, doing simple maths puzzles, really can prevent the slowing of the mental faculties with age.

How can you hate maths? You'd have to be what is usually called "a fucking retard" to do so...


On the other hand, I can't stand that DS game.

Comon, I know I'm not the only person that can't stand math. Sure I can do complex equations but most math is just tedious...

Any form of mental exercise is good for keeping your mind limber, whether it be doing sudoku, the Cryptic Crossword or playing the DS brain game. Sitting in front of a TV when you're retired is a sure fire way to loose the plot sooner rather than later.

What is DS?

Lol about the maths game of this Dr.

You get gold if you can do 100 calculations in 60 seconds. Dunno from what planet he comes, but this means no human can ever get gold. This is so ridiculous fast.

I tested just writing the numbers 1-100 on paper, took me 106 seconds. Then I tested just striping of the 100 numbers with s single stripe, took me 40 seconds. Then I measured placing an X next to every number, took me 61 seconds.

No way it is possible to ever read, calculate and answer 100 of these questions in one minute.

Fine...that supposedly helps cover Alzheimer's. Now all we need is something to help annoying retards who actually use the word "math" with an "s" when in the plural.

Now, before I go any further let me make the observation that I shall not follow the title nor the description of this piece.As much as needs be served by a common comma.  Or a stripe begging for another one.  In my journeys, as seldom as they are, I have found a common virtue.  That virtue is a simple pattern... But all seize it, and all know it well.  For it is the definition before the act.  It is why and who and when and that t...
