Brain Age update

Since I know every one is just dying to know how my Brain Age improvement is going, here's the run down:

Brain age: 24 (20 is the best)
Calculations x20: 15 seconds
Calculations x100: 73 seconds
Reading: 4.6 syllables/sec.
Low to High: 45 points
Syllable Count: 44 seconds
Head Count: 5/5
Triangle Math: 60 seconds

The last four exercises I should probably explain.

Low to High

This game shows you a grid of numbers for about 1 second. Then the numbers disappear and you have to tap the boxes in order starting with the box that had the lowest number and ending with the box that had the highest number.

Syllable Count
This games shows you a sentence and you have to count the number of syllables in the sentence and write down the number.

Head Count
It starts by showing you a certian number of people, then it covers them up with a house. Then people start randomly walking out of the house and randomly walking into the house. When it stops you have to write down how many people are in the house.

Triangle Math
This game shows you a triangle of numbers and plus signs. The first row has three numbers. The second row has two plus signs. The third row has two blank spots. The forth row has a plus. Your job is to add the first and second number in the top row to the second and third number in the top row. It looks something like this:

4 6 8
+ +
O O
+
O

So 4 + 6 is 10.
And 6 + 8 is 14.
10 + 14 is 24 and that's that answer you have to write down as quick as you can. It gets a little trickier when the have minus signs as well as plus signs.

Try this one:

6 7 4
+ +
O O
+
O

Did you get 24?
