briefme a snapshot of the world we live in Older does not mean wiser It is the evidence parents have longed to arm themselves with in disputes with their children getting older really does make you wiser. The over-55s use their brains more efficiently than their younger counterparts, as they are much more likely to shrug off mistakes, say scientists. And while they may take more time to come to a decision, they are simply conserving their energy.

An official said that the disappearance of a "G" tile occurred during the international event, which was held in the Polish capital from October 12-16. A referee had to intervene when opponents Edward Martin from Britain and Chollapat Itthi-Aree from Thailand noticed a missing tile during the last draw of their match. The missing letter was nowhere to be found, so the referee added another "G" to the letters to create a complete set.

Killer curry A British curry house is in hot water after a competition to find out who could stomach most of its infamous "Kismot Killer" curry ended up with two participants hospitalised. Emergency services are demanding a review into the tournament after they were called to the Kismot restaurant in the Scottish capital Edinburgh following reports that some competitors were "very unwell". Members of the British Red Cross were on hand at the event, which raises money for the Scottish children's charity Chas, but the Scottish Ambulance Service was required after two diners suffered a violent reaction.
