Elspeth Maconachie
Mental flexibility, lateral thinking, word manipulation, ambidexterity and visual acuity... we're building on all of these. Perhaps you'd like to test us with a sudden question or a poser to solve?
Elspeth Maconachie Like toothful tigers, we tackled word oddities such as contranyms, words which can hold opposing meanings, such as bound, screen or sanction. We then turned our attention to numbers but found some of us had shakeable determination and indeed boundful enthusiasm.
But such activities, even when we fail, have neurons forging new pathways. Elspeth Maconachie |
