Foxes Deserve a Poem

Foxes Deserve a Poem

Jarring my bones
with a desperate grin,
the fox steps into sight.
It's bigger than I thought foxes could be
and has visible ribs.
It is beyond trust.

Updated Brain Age Data

I am a huge nerd, and yet my average brain age after nearly 250 tests is about 1 year older than my brain's actual age. I'm dumber than I should be, still. See my past results from April here.

So here's the rundown.
My current actual age is approximately 25.84.
My average brain age after 242 tests is 26.5.
My median brain age after 242 tests is 23.
My mode brain age after 242 tests is 20 (the lowest possible score).

This perfect brain age of 20 business is pretty annoying, because that means the game assumes that a brain is in its best condition at 20. There is nowhere better to go below 20, and although this may make sense if you think about the average person's brain and it's abilities over the years, it doesn't mean that taking a test and doing the best possible is different from just doing really well (both of which can result in a score of 20). I've gotten scores of 20 enough times to know that sometimes I do better than other times. Perfection and doing really well are not the same, and this leaves a fault in the game, and I protest this data to some degree.

But on the plus side, I've improved my average brain age by 6 months since April!

Here is a graph for the past 9 months or so (242 tests) of data:
