THE THREE STEP MEMORY ENHANCER METHOD

Everyday I seem to hear about a new way to test and/or improve one's memory. Obviously this is a growing need, hence a seemingly profitable market.

Thus, I'm torn between donating my "Easy To Do" Three Step Memory Enhancer Method to the world at large, most especially to those folks experiencing Senior Moment diarrhea, or trying to patent it and somehow attach it to some hedge fund venture and earn some play money with which to purchase some more Sudoku books.

Oh, well, here it is for all to see, practice, and perchance to remember:

Level One:

Stand in front of your refrigerator and try to remember and name everything inside. This part is easy because there are usually the staples such as milk, eggs, butter, cheese, some fruits, vegetables, etc. One point for each item remembered.

Level Two:

This is harder, of course. Open the refrigerator and try to remember what is in each Tupperware - without, of course, opening them. Again, one point for each one properly identified.

Level Three:

This is by far the hardest and most challenging. Now, open the containers, the contents of which you were unable to remember, and then try to identify what they were when you first placed them in the refrigerator. Naturally, the longer they have been in captivity the harder they are to describe. This, in turn makes your memory strain to remember what you might have cooked or purchased in the perhaps far distant past. You can see what a terrific challenge and mental exercise this can be.
Again, one point for each successful identification.

Add up all the points, and subtract them from the total number of items, and if the result is more than half consider yourself pretty normal, quit worrying, toss the Sudoku, and read a good book. With this training you'll probably even be able to remember the plot.

Warning: Cleaning out the refrigerator and especially the Tupperware is considered cheating and will do you and your memory no good whatsoever. Although it might improve the smell when you open the door.
