Calendar age: 20
Real age: 25, old enough to drink!
Brain age: I don't own a DS yet...

I updated Hirocon's, Koopaslaya's, and my info. Anyone else?

I took the real age. It said I was 14.3 years old.

...

I don't want to be 14 again. I HATED early adolescence. Apparantly, what prevents me from becoming pre-pubescent is that I don't eat breakfast, I eat a lot of red meat per week, and don't take very good care of my teeth. I also do practically nothing but aerobic exercise, so I need to strength train more. It says I'm slightly overweight though. Which isn't true -- At 6'0" 170 lbs, my BMI is at about 23, and 25 is the border for being overweight for males. (For females, in today's society, it's probably somewhere around 6.)

What helps me is that fact that I consume inconceivable amounts of ketchup ('sup lycopene). ~~DDR~~ ITG helps a LOT, also. And I have a dog. A very evil dog that I don't know who she helps me out, but whatever.

For what it's worth, my Actual age is 19.4.

I need to get a copy of Brain Age one of these days.

Explain in more detail how you consume inconceivable amounts of ketchup.

Insane Steve · « **Reply #20 on:** April 18, 2006, 03:48:21 PM »

I just do. I eat french fries almost every day (thanks, college), and on average consume 2 dozen packets of ketchup for, say, a large fry at McDonald's. I can also drink ketchup.

I'm not sure what the average weekly tally is. Also, maybe "inconceivable" was a somewhat strong word.

I got rocket speed (perfect) on head count again today. That's the second time in a row. The first time I played head count I thought, "that's impossible", but a couple of days later and I can do it perfectly.

Would you say you "trained" your "brain" in "minutes" a "day"?

Luigison · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2006, 02:17:21 AM »

I've only trained on head count three or four times and it was only minutes a day. Anyway, my trick is to say out loud the number of people in the house after each pass of people, and intead of counting each person I count them in groups or simply by the differenc that gp in/out. In other words if a group of five go in the house I just see that there are five with out counting each one and say out loud the number of people in the house (five plus number any already there). And if some come in and go out at about the same time I don't bother counting all of them, for example if a group of three go in and a group of two come out I add one to the number previously in the house and say the answer out loud.

Edit: I decided to practice number writing recognition with quick training mode and got walking speed. I touched the walking dude and he whistled the beginning of the Mario theme song. Cool.

Wow! I got a Brain Age of twenty! I did it on random, can't speak though. The stroop test usually brings me down because of my southern drowl and I'm not a very fast reader even though I read a lot. I'm 33.3 years old (born Jan. 11th 1973).

I just got back from Best Buy after playing the download version of Brain Age again. My brain age for the color-saying part was 50, actually, but part of my slowness might have been the fact that shouting "Yellow!" "Blue!" "Black!" into a little portable thing i'm holding sideways in front of a whole bunch of Best Buy goers is a little embarassing. My speed on Sudoku was Jet speed, and my mathematical test part was walking speed.

Heh. This thread is turning into a personal blog. At first I couldn't believe that I was the only Fungi with the $20 Brain Age, but this fact goes along with Nintendo's intent with this nontradition edutainment type game. It even had "for adults" in the title in Japan. Being the oldest "adult" here Nintendo's plan makes sense.

At first the doctor told me, "Your Brain Age is 78", then he corrected himself and said I had a Brain Age of 20. That's two days in a row.

I have now completed 41% of the sudoku puzzles. I've read that Sudoku hard mode is unlocked at 42% and hope to be able to confirm that soon. I've also heard that you have to get rocket speed at least once and complete all the intermediate puzzle.

I made perfect scores on Head Count two days in a row and now Hard Head Count is available. I think this unlock was simply based on the number of stamps (days) I've played. Anyway, it is really hard, but I wonder if I'll pick it up as fast as the normal mode.

bobman37, I put your scores in the first post.

Does anyone plan on getting Brain Age?

Someday.

After my last paycheck comes in, I might go on a mini Gaming Shopping Spree, which would consist of Brain Age, NSMB and Guitar Heros 1 and 2 (2 depending on release date)
