...let's discuss the following:

-If a person has heightened anxiety, do you think it means that they have a greater ability to form memories?
-How do you think drugs that help a person fall asleep may affect memory abilities?

Awe inspiring experience with Rummikub champions!






For most of us, solving a rummikub puzzle is a mind-blogging experience. For the B2 team, witnessing 18 year-old champions doing it in under 40sec is simply owe-inspiring! Thank you, Steve Sherman, for giving us the chance to live perseverance in action!


Για τους περισσότερος από εμάς μια πρόκληση. Για την ομάδα της Β2 το να παρακολουθουν τους 18χρόνους πρωταθλητές να φτιάχνουν τον κύβο σε λιγότερο από 40 δευτερολεπτα  απλά προκαλεί δέος! Ευχαριστούμε τον Steve Sherman που μας έδωσε την ευκαιρία να δούμε την... επιμονή σε δράση!
