Fun Formulas! (or How to Wipe Out Alzheimers)

I'm been reading and hearing more lately about how to wipe out Alzheimers... it's a huge concern and especially for women as we get older.... hey, My Brain Matters!!

OK so here's some fun little puzzles for you to do...... pretty amazing these work.. even with a calculator I'm not smart enough to figure out why... but at least they made me think!

Phone Number Formula

1) PUNCH THE 1st THREE DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER INTO YOUR CALCULATOR
        (without the area code )

2) MULTIPLY BY 80

3) ADD 1

4) MULTIPLY BY 250

5) ADD THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER

6) ADD THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER AGAIN

7) SUBTRACT 250

8) DIVIDE BY 2

 
RECOGNIZE THE NUMBER?
 
 

Fun Family Formula

1. Write down the # of brothers you have
2. Multiply by 2
3. Add 3
4. Multiply by 5
5. Add the # of sisters you have
6. Multiply by 10
7. Add the # of living grandparents
8. Subtract 150
This will give you a 3 digit number:

1st digit = # of brothers

2nd digit = # of sisters

3rd digit = # of living grandparents

 

Keep your brain active every day:

  • Stay curious and involved — commit to lifelong learning
  • Read, write, work crossword or other puzzles
  • Attend lectures and plays
  • Enroll in courses at your local adult education center, community college or other community group
  • Play games
  • Garden
  • Try memory exercises
