Memory recall is a key one I think - by whittling off names of countries and random facts as quickly as you can before the time runs out, under the hood perhaps this is making your brain operate faster and more clearly, which naturally has applications elsewhere in life.
What other skills have you all, perhaps unknowingly, got better at because of this site?
P.S. I'm going to sneak in an advertisement here for my latest quiz, which could truly test your memory :) : Annoyingly difficult countries and capitals quiz - name all countries and capitals without the letters s/t/a/n in. It's harder than you think!
Nice thread!
And my typing speed has improved as well.
I make blogs mainly to keep my brain active in my advancing years so I suppose that is an advantage too.
I can spell Kyrgyzstan without thinking now!
And seeing people here who’ve written entire learned essays for example on weird geographical boundaries that frustrate them and I find this so relatable and don’t feel weird, and Zo can’t talk about this with people I know irl. So.. I’ve found my tribe in some ways. 😅
