Ah Bobad, if only that were true. My father, I am told, was a whiz at crossword puzzles, and could complete the Sunday offerings in about 15 minutes. He also was a life master at contract bridge, and a tournament director. He lived to be 89, the last five years with Alzheimers...the last couple of years he was totally incompetent. I hope it is not the only thing he bequeaths to me.

The moral is, I guess, that one can live a healthy life style, eat nutritiously, exercise your body and brain, and still suffer that debilitating disease.
