Puzzles aren't only a fun activity to spend time on a rainy day. Research now shows there are cognitive benefits to filling in the correct mathematics and letters in the blocked grids of Sudoku and crossword riddles.

According to a investigation conducted by U.K. investigators at the University of Exeter and King's College London, mind games can help keep your brain fresh you age. The study, which was published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, followed players between the periods of 50 and 93.

Each person was asked to complete a series of 10 mental tests — like word-matching, and number riddles — every day for a week. They were also quizzed on how regularly played mental puzzles in their quotidian life, with answers varying from never to recurrent, recurrent, daily, or multiple times per day.

Scientists believe that problem-solving exertion like online Sudoku can upgrade brain function and shield the mind from cognitive decline.

just look at how many great businessmen started playing chess at a very young age.
it's ok to have a mediocre brain if one only wants to be a mediocre businessman, but to be a great businessman one has to have a great brain and to have a great brain you have to train it on purpose, it's called deliberate practice and just "keeping busy" is not enough.
