Perigee means closest approach to Earth (of the Moon, for example); apogee means furthest distance away. To not get these backward, notice that peri- sounds like "pear".

The Return of (Some) Flash Brain Games

ruffle games

In an amazing turn of events, some of the old Adobe Flash brain games now work again! To play them, visit the new Ruffle Flash Games page.

Old favorites like Scrabble Sprint, Brain Follow, Emerald Thief, Curveball, Original Tetris, and more were thought to be lost forever with the demise of Adobe Flash in 2021.

But a dedicated group of volunteers has created a new, safer Flash Player called Ruffle. The Ruffle Player can run the old Adobe Flash games in your browser, just like the Adobe Flash Player once did.

You don't even need to download any plug-ins. The Ruffle games work automatically, with the Ruffle Player code running behind the scenes.

Ruffle is still under development, so only some of the old Flash games work for now. I've collected games that do run on a single page for your enjoyment.

These Ruffle Flash brain games run on desktop computers and laptops only. They probably won't work if you try to play them on a tablet or mobile phone.

If you miss the old Adobe Flash games, visit the new Ruffle Flash Games page for a trip down memory lane. Have fun!

Mental Math at the Register

coins mental math

To stay sharp, look for ways to exercise your brain in daily life. Mental math while you are out-and-about is a great example.

Solving math problems in your head trains quantitative intelligence (Gq). It also requires focused attention.

I play a math coin game at the store sometimes when paying for small purchases. I'll carry an assortment of small coins in my pocket for this purpose.

One such game: "Receive multiples of 25 cents in change."

Recently I bought an Americano at my local coffee shop. That's my favorite coffee drink. Splash of heavy cream and two Stevias. Total owed $2.98.

Time to pay. Not with three one dollar bills. I'd be burdened with two more pennies, and not train my brain.

Instead a mental math challenge!

I prefer the "counting down" method. It's the opposite of the counting-up method used by cashiers to make change.

Here's the thought process. Multiples of 25 cents are zero, 25, 50, and 75. For the coffee I owe 98 cents. The next-lowest multiple of 25 is therefore 75 cents.

I count down from 98, starting with pennies. Dropping from 98 to 95 is three pennies. Now I have options. I can drop 95 to 75 with two dimes or four nickels or two nickels and a dime.

I get out three one dollar bills and hand the cashier $3.23. The cash register checks my math: $3.23 - $2.98 = $0.25. I'm handed a quarter. Victory!

I'm glad to get rid of the small coins of little value, especially the pennies. It’s a good way to use up the small change I've thrown into a drawer.

Is this game trivial? No. All mental challenges are beneficial. Even small ones.

They force you to pay attention, to concentrate, to focus. And in this case, to calculate.

Consider the alternative: To passively not use your brain, as when swiping a credit card or handing over three one-dollar bills. Even a little counting-down game is a plus.

If you need practice counting coins, play the free Cash Back money counting game here on my site.

During the course of your day, look around for opportunities to challenge your brain. Be creative and have fun. Stay sharp!

Why Bother with Correct Spelling?

Some time ago, a visitor asked me why correct spelling is important. After all, misspelled words can usually still be recognized.

What difference does shifting a few letters around actually make?

The answer: Having a single accepted spelling for a word streamlines communication and prevents confusion.

Here are a few reasons why careless spelling is bad:

  1. Misspellings can actually change the meaning of the word. These misspellings are confusing and sometime amusing.

    See the image of "Sweat Tea" above. Yuck, no thank you!

  2. Consider extreme cases where the word is unrecognizable due to the misspelling.

    The reader would have to stop reading and waste time trying to figure out what the word meant. They might even fail to decipher the word altogether.

  3. Spelling words the right way shows you are an educated person. You communicate carefully, with an eye for detail.

    In contrast, poor spelling may cause the reader to wonder if your thinking and reasoning are also inexact. That you are not to be taken seriously.

So there you have it. Three great reasons to be exact with your spelling.

Take the time to memorize the correct spellings of words. It's worth it!

Trouble Remembering Routes: Your Solutions?

trouble remembering routes

A surprising number of visitors claim they have severe trouble remembering routes. They struggle to recall simple street directions. They become lost in places they've lived many years.

For such people, Google Maps and GPS are not enough. And they are frustrated. Getting lost is not fun!

Trouble with directions has been linked to ADHD and other learning disorders. Traveling a route does require memory and sustained attention. But the cause is uncertain, and there is no magic fix.

Do you suffer this problem? Please share any solutions you've found in your daily life. Send a message through my Contact Me page describing the methods you use.

Once I've gathered solutions, I'll write an article listing the most effective ideas. Learning of creative options that work for others should be very helpful to those everywhere who struggle with routes.

Retrieval Practice: A Powerful Daily Habit

greek alphabet

Recalling facts helps strengthen memory. You can do this deliberately, as a form of memory exercise. This is known as "retrieval practice."

Choose a set of facts to practice. It can be anything. For example, I recently decided to memorize the Greek alphabet.

Use memory techniques to establish initial learning. For a few minutes every day, recall the information from memory without looking. Recite it out loud, write it down, or do both. This is active recall, also known as the testing effect.

No need to schedule time for this. I fit my recall practice into odd moments of downtime. When writing, I often use whatever is on hand, like a scrap of paper. Afterward I discard it.

Practice daily. Retrieval is a free and powerful memory booster. Give it a try!

Flash Games Fixed! (for Now)

Scrabble Sprint
Some good news. The Flash-based brain games like Scrabble Sprint are working again.

An observant and helpful visitor, Pat R., pointed out to me that one of the HTML5 games also had stopped working. That got me thinking...

It turns out the problem was an SSL issue with the Flash games directory. (The HTML5 game she mentioned happens to live in the same directory.)

I repaired the SSL problem, and voila the Flash games can be played again. Thanks, Pat!

Keep in mind, this fix doesn't affect the End-of-Flash date, December 31st, rapidly approaching. The browser companies and Adobe plan to turn internet Flash to "Off" permanently that day, sadly.

After December 31st, the free HTML5 brain games will continue to work, of course.

End of Flash-Based Games in Sight

Outspell Scrabble
This is a quick post on the state of online Flash-based games. As you may have noticed, some Flash games on my website such as Scrabble Sprint have stopped working in the last couple days.

NOTE: On many of the Flash game pages, I've already posted a second (or even third) game in HTML5 format that can be played instead. For example, now playable from the Scrabble Sprint page are the free HTML5 Wordmeister and Outspell Scrabble games.

With regard to Adobe Flash, nothing has changed on my end recently. So I suspect the browser companies and Adobe may have begun to shut down internet Flash early, in advance of the December 31st deadline.

Those companies have been planning for years to remove Flash from the web. The time has finally come. For more background, see this page.

As a replacement, play the free online HTML5 brain games instead. Many of these games are quite excellent!

More Free HTML5 Brain Games Online

Millionaire TV Show
As we draw closer to the end of Adobe Flash games on the web (December 2020), I continue to replace as many as possible with HTML5 versions. The HTML5 brain games do not need a browser plug-in like Flash games do. That means HTML5 games work in most browsers automatically.

Recently I've migrated the Wheel of Fortune game and Millionaire TV Show game to HTML5. Give these games a try!

On a side note, I've also updated the online UNO Card Game to have a "Multiplayer" feature.

You can still play UNO against the computer as before. But now you can set up a private online game room where you can play against your friends. Or, play a Quick Match against a random opponent from around the world.

Times of change can be difficult. It's frustrating to have to say goodbye to a favorite Flash game. But there are many cool HTML5 games, too. I hope you keep an open mind as you explore them, because HTML5 is the wave of the future for web games.

Memorizing World Capitals Example

For this post, I'll share an example of a powerful yet simple memory technique I call "visualization and association."

I'm using this technique to memorize the world capitals. There are about 200 of them!

Qatar is a small country in the Middle East. Its capital city is Doha.

For this method, what I want to do is create a silly mental image that associates "Doha" with "Qatar". It's important that the image be strange or unusual, because that makes it stick in memory.

To do this, I ask myself what those two words sound like or remind me of. To me, Doha sounds like dough. Qatar, which is pronounced "cutter," reminds me of scissors.

To associate the two, I imagine myself cutting through some bread dough with a huge pair of scissors. Have a look at the attached image, and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Creating memory images in this way works surprisingly well. The next time you want to connect any two facts in your memory, give it a try!
