Zoe BelshawGUEST
You can get them things like snuffle mats, which are felt mats with sort of different leaves in it that you can hide things in.
Zoe BelshawGUEST
You can do some brain games with them, really, which is this starting to be a tiny bit of evidence that actually might prevent some other cognitive decline, just like we talk about doing Sudoku and crosswords and people doing scent work, doing these behavioural enrichment type things in older dogs may well be much much more valuable for their happiness their quality of life and potentially even their physical health than being taken on a walk with a younger dog where they're effectively having to be pulled along to keep up
Fabian RiversHOST
how else can we encourage excitement for an older dog
Zoe BelshawGUEST
Yeah, I think that's another great question.
Dave ThompsonHOST
You can view it as a time dependent slice from the initial set of people all the way through to their N-1 meetings.
Dave ThompsonHOST
And this, it turns out, is a Sudoku problem.
Dave ThompsonHOST
And I gave it to my daughter.
Dave ThompsonHOST
I was like, I've done the five and six, seven, and she did the eight for me.
Dave ThompsonHOST
She could have a trailing diagonal of ones, right? Person one is always meeting person two, person three, person four, all the way down to person N.
Dave ThompsonHOST
And then she could have N to N minus one in that final column.
Dave ThompsonHOST
And I was like, okay, not only is this a Sudoku problem, this is actually a Latin square.
Dave ThompsonHOST
And then I was like, actually, the language is this is a normalized Latin square.
Lucy DevendraGUEST
But like you said, maintaining that kind of cognitive activity.
Lucy DevendraGUEST
So not being socially isolated, keeping your brain healthy, whether that's taking on new hobbies or doing brain training, doing Sudoku.
Lucy DevendraGUEST
These are all things that can help to reduce your risk.
Lucy DevendraGUEST
So taken together, these are things that people absolutely can do to reduce their risk of dementia.
Sin HowardHOST
of the plane, speaking of number
Brook GibsonHOST
works, so this lady on the plane next to me, did you see her? She was hitting the Sudoku hard, but...
Sin HowardHOST
Yeah, she wouldn't fucking look up.
Brook GibsonHOST
It's funny, though, because I don't think I messaged you, but it was after our little lunch thing, and I slightly look across, and they're about to pick up all the, like, trays of food, and she's...
Brook GibsonHOST
As they were coming past, she asked for another beer, and I was like, hold on, I like homegirl.
Brook GibsonHOST
And then the lady was about to walk away, and I went to go, oh, oh, to get one, and she went into bat for me, pulled back this lady, and goes, I think he wants one too.
Brook GibsonHOST
And I was like, I will disregard you licking your plate because how can a girl get your Sudoku going and just call me another beer?
Sin HowardHOST
That's nice.
PatrickHOST
Um, but it's also like kind of mapped out.
PatrickHOST
So rather than like the normal, like three by three boxes that you get in Sudoku, they might be any short, any sort of size or shape and, uh, is seen as like the blueprint of a building.
PatrickHOST
And so you have like all these different rooms that are labeled.
PatrickHOST
And then you have a bunch of clues for where various people are.
PatrickHOST
And if it's like seven by seven, there will be seven people.
PatrickHOST
And nobody can share a row or a column, which is the Sudoku part of it.
PatrickHOST
And one of the people that you're trying to place in this house is the victim.
PatrickHOST
And then you solve the murder by the murderer is the only one who is in the same room as the victim.
Or PondokGUEST
On the train, I'd have these like images playing in my head of like people stabbing me, people stabbing each other.
Or PondokGUEST
Like if I see somebody like playing Sudoku with a pencil, like what would they do? Like
Shalane CarterHOST
it was...
Shalane CarterHOST
Like catastrophizing everything.
Brooke GramerHOST
Yes, I think it's setting that intention.
Brooke GramerHOST
Think about how you sit down and do brain exercises or puzzles or crosswords or Sudoku.
Brooke GramerHOST
We're going to have to put those in place when it comes to our intellectualism, our capacity to learn and recall information.
Brooke GramerHOST
Totally.
Steve EkHOST
I used to.
Steve EkHOST
I used to like to play the game Sudoku.
Steve EkHOST
You know, it's a number game with the nine boxes and the nine squares within each box, and you can't have the same number in either a row or a column.
Steve EkHOST
And, man, it was like a brain teaser, and I always played the extreme level.
Steve EkHOST
I hope it still works.
Steve EkHOST
I should plug it in and make sure it still works.
Steve EkHOST
But Sudoku was my enemy.
Steve EkHOST
It was now my opponent.
Francesco GadaletaHOST
I think that's a very good exercise to keep trained.
Francesco GadaletaHOST
That's the reason why people play Sudoku and crosswords.
Francesco GadaletaHOST
It's to kill time with something they entertain themselves and keep the brain active in that particular skill.
Francesco GadaletaHOST
Number six, I don't know why it's five, but actually it's number five.
speaker_9NARRATOR
On the counter is a bowl of ice cream with a brownie from the restaurant connected to the hotel.
speaker_9NARRATOR
The local paper is open to the comics page and the Sudoku is half filled out with a pen sitting there.
speaker_9NARRATOR
Hanging on the back of the chair is a small lady's coat with fake fur fringe around the hood.
speaker_9NARRATOR
On the floor next to the chair are a pair on smaller pink and black nikes and a black purse.
