Slim Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hello Folks I'm still aspiring to a DS Lite but until then I'll try this paper version. There are Daily Puzzles which apparently work out different aspects of the brain. I could never understand the concept of Sudoku but this mag has a simple version and now I'm flying. I have found my abilities increased since I started doing the puzzles, Donald has even started doing them too. (I find the visual things very difficult like spot the difference or find the shape. bizzarre!) This has also improved! I do warn you, some of the puzzles (symmetrical crossword especially)I hadn't a clue what they wanted (even when I looked up the answers) I was quite disheartened thinking I was completely dense Got the Engineer to explain what I was to do! Its Frustrating but Fun Aine xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogbrush Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If you don't get on with sudoku, perhaps you should try the binary version! There are 10 types of people in the world .... those that understand binary and those that don't Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sue Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hello Aine! just bought the brain training book....mmmm....very good but must admit, there are some puzzles I can do really quick then others I haven't a clue about??? Just wonder really if this is just me or if its because different parts of our brain are affected??? Hope that makes sense?? Let me know, love Suexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hi Sue, Like your self there were some I couldn't do and I got a bit anxious thinking well that bit of the brain must be gone. But with Practice and Donald explaining (The symetrical crossword) I'm now flying. Stick at it. I hardly did any of the first book, gave it to my mum but when I was ready got another one and I found it alot easier. Possibly because it is now familiar to me. I would def do there daily puzzles and then top up with the others, otherwise it could be to overwhelming. Think we def can retrain these brains Good Luck Aine xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi Sue, Whilst I now roughly understand how to do it, will get D on to explain it. I think the colour squares make it really confusing, they've nothing to do with it as such!! keep up the good work Aine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
