Errors in current Sweeps Brain Games
Talk about the latest free online games, and challenge others to beat your high score in mahjong, solitaire or thousands of other free games. Games ain’t just for kids, you know?
I wish there was a way to comment on the current Brain Games sweepstakes games. For example, in one of them, I had to answer which was the largest number: a numeral "5" in much larger font, or a "12"

I wish there was a way to comment on the current Brain Games sweepstakes games. For example, in one of them, I had to answer which was the largest number: a numeral "5" in much larger font, or a "12" in the basic size font for that list. Don't recall which I chose, but I guessed wrong. Problem: the 5 was clearly a larger sized character, but 12 is definitely the larger number (if you are counting things, would you choose $5 or $12?). This is something a good editor should have caught, and I tried to let them know, but just got a standard general comment back for a reply. Apparently, in this game, your score isn't too important, has no bearing on winning the sweepstake. Still, sometimes such things do matter, and there should be a means of letting them know. |

Good morning, char9842. I noticed your question about one of the questions in the brain health sweeps. My take is that "5" is the correct answer because the word "large" refers to the physical size. Meanwhile, "12" was the highest number but not the largest in size. Hope this helps answer your question.
