Title: drive yourself crazy

These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol
around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's Disease. A great test, do it
until you get 100%!
This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun!
Please concentrate on the color of the word.  You have only 4 seconds to
click on thr right color. Try not to read the word. Good luck.
It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions!
It's harder than it seems, as it should be!
A brain waker-upper for today!

It seems the developers of that haven't understood the nature of the Stroop effect or the nature of learning by repetition. The sequence from slide to slide is set and after 4 run throughs, I now know the pattern of button clicks, so don't even need to look at the words... balanced randomisation is the key :|
