Four different tests. What is your "brain age" for each? Mine was something like 68/18/18/45.

18/18/18/18 - bit surprised really, since I was (unsurprisingly) a bit rubbish at the first one, but apparently not that rubbish. The second one was just boring - you need more than two colours to make that sort of thing a challenge, similarly the cups one didn't seem to require much more than making the most obvious moves (I was expecting it to involve needing a bit more strategy).

In the space hopper one it didn't recognise keypresses of P/Q with CAPS LOCK on. What a load of shit.

I got 18/69/18 and then I didn't bother to do the memory one cos I was pretty bored of it by then.
God knows where 69 came from in that P's and Q's one and I was also surprised I got 19 on spot the difference because it felt like I was taking forever to spot them.

The spacehopper one's definitely fucked. I did two runs, first one was pretty quick, with no mistakes, for which I got an age of 47. Second one I deliberately took longer and got one wrong, and got an age of 18

I did the spacehopper one just holding down Q so it would answer instantly (about half right and half wrong) and I gt an age of 18 for that.

In order... I scored 70 / 18 / 18 / 19. I'll choose to interpret that as taking time to warm up in the first test. Or being distracted by Mariella Frostrup's cleavage.

Do I win a prize?

I'm going to say that that was deliberate to see who would pick up on it.

18/23/18/18. Which means that my brain's wandering round having a good time and staying young, while my body's stuck in the attic getting older and older.
