I was contemplating for days after this and I'm pretty certain the cure to dementia is solving math problems or equivalent brain functions. Math teacher in highschool told us it is true we will never use that kind of math in the real world that basically his class is like gym class but for the brain because your brain is a muscle like your body and if you don't use it you will lose it.
It's not the first I've heard of this. I had a great (great?) Uncle who had dementia. Mentally, he deteriorated albeit slowly. Physically, he was doing very well. But those kids puzzles? He rocked 'em. I think that helped his quality of life immensely toward the end.
