This is exactly the kind of tests I do not perform. I am 59 and for sure my speed and proficiency for doing such things is appalling. I do not see any reason to becomes depressed being sure of that
I prefer to think that to lose speed in such silly tests does not have any importance. I prefer to think that my surely slower brain than in other ages is prone to deeper meditation and better grasping of important things.

No, no tests for me anymore.
LAST time i tested my IQ it have went from 143 to 135. Maybe now is 110, with luck.

Mike, I suppose one man's lunacy can be another's playground. :)

Fernando,

Like fine wine, I can only imagine your mind increasing in value. :wink:

I'm 23 and got 29, it must have been because my brain wanted to start counting from 1 instead of 0 :lol:

I am 40-41 years old
I got 22
I did only one try.

This test is nonsense because I expect little childrens not to score higher.

Uri, Your point is well taken.

After looking at a translated page, it appears that 20 is the low age target for the test, so it definitely isn't for children.

I played 2 more games.

In one very bad game I got 25 and in the third game I got 20.

Note that I made mistakes in the game that I got 20 and I could not remember 8 digits correctly so I think that there should be smaller number than 20 for people who are able to remember 8 digits or more than it and never fail in 7 digits.

Edit:I did another try when I always chose the maximal number to fail and got score of 120 so the maximal age of the brain seems to be 120

testing this game it seems that it is impossible to get result that is above 60 and below 120 even by failing on purpose.

I can get 60 by the following strategy

if there are 3 numbers success
If there are 4 numbers choose minimum as first number and maximum as second number.

If I try to change this strategy only in the last step and start with maximal in the 10th exercise I get 120.
