Kids doing a seven-week brain training course instead of going to school? Apart from the fact they could probably list the abilities of Pokemon #25, that's not really how it's meant to be used is it?

A hour a day playing for fun to practise your sums on top of what you learn at school, or a few puzzles to keep your mind active when you're not in education or a job that requires much thinking was where I thought it was aimed.

It makes you better at learning how to play Brain Training. It didn't like my accent though so I wouldn't play any of the talky ones.

Yes, because the French are well known for their honest and truthful studies.

They better! He's been with the company for almost 25 years, and where are they going to find someone with 25 years experience in airplane maintenance?

Still, I might be too worried, They have tons of people in their service, most of them with a much more expendable function.
