The human body works in mysterious ways. There are a bunch of nerves that are likened to cables which are involved in keeping everything running smoothly, and when something goes wrong, the weirdest symptoms start to appear, such as the example of a 25-year-old who only gets convulsions when solving Sudoku.
A study published this Monday in the medical journal JAMA Neurology describes the case of a German snowman 25, who managed to survive while trapped in an avalanche. This took place in November of 2008 and the skier before his adventure was absolutely good at his health.
Contact with the avalanche left him with a ruptured spleen and a broken hip. Although he spent some time buried under the χιόνι without enough oxygen he managed to survive until his friend who was skiing with him and who luckily was a nurse found him and immediately gave him KARPA (Cardiopulmonary revitalization).
The man was immediately taken to the hospital and remained there for a few weeks, as long as space that is, the doctors decided to heal his obvious wounds.
It was then transferred to a recovery unit. And there it was discovered that when he tries to solve a puzzle Sudoku, which is one of his favorite activities, suddenly begins to have unjustified cobreakin his left hand.
The man experiences these symptoms only when trying to solve Sudoku. Mathematical problems as well as other puzzles have no effect on it.
Η Live Science reports that the doctors after taking a series of tests found that 25 has a very active imagination every time he solves Sudoku, with which he manages to portray numbers in three dimensions and then tries to put them in order.
When he was caught in the avalanche, the oxygen deprivation made a certain region the part of the brain known as the right centro-parietal region, which works when one uses their 3D imagination, to become over-activated. This overstimulation in turn created uncontrollable contractions in his muscles.
His doctors prescribed anti-epileptic drugs and advised him to stay away from Sudoku puzzles.
