I have a closed head injury and find the exercises a bit of a mental workout. Since I found your site I try and do a few exercises every day.

Nice exercise! But I’m a bit puzzled at something: In the text at the top of this page you say this task exercises the Frontal and Parietal lobe, and that the Parietal lobe deals with visual interpretation. I thought the Occipital lobe was the primary visual interpretation centre, and that the Parietal lobe mainly deals with sensory information. How come this isn’t an exercise mainly for the Frontal and the Occipital lobe?

Well, if I had been a soldier I would have missed one of the enemies named “3” and would have mistaken one of my own people as a “3” or a “7.” Not good in battle!

I got 32 6’s. And I got 60 7&3’s. I tried it two different ways. First I tried visually matching 7’s and 3’s together to make 10’s so it would be easier to add. I found myself marking 7’s with my finger on the screen, though, since they were not evenly matched. Then I tried a different strategy which could technically be cheating, I suppose. As I came to a 3, I would name them in order such as 3–1, 3–2, 3–3, while also naming the 7’s aloud as I came to them, 7–1, 7–2, …by the end I was at 3–24 and 7–36. I then mentally added 24 + 36 = 60.
So, I did them as I went, but separately, as well.

33 6s woo hoo!

I read the instructions that we had to count the 3s and 7s individually but at the same time so to keep track I counted the 3s using numbers and the 7s using the alphabet… and came out with 23 3s and 36 7s = 59 total I’m shocked !!!
