How old is your brain? This fun little Flash Game will calculate it for you! A year or two ago I remember seeing a video that showed how chimps have better memories than people, and a similar game to this one was used to demonstrate this fact. The instructions at the site are in Japanese, here is a translation: 1. Touch "Start" 2. Wait for 3,2,1 3. Memorize the numbers’ position on the screen, and then click the circle from the smallest number to the largest. 4. At the end of the game, the age of your brain will be calculated.
