The human body works in mysterious ways. There are a bunch of nerves that are likened to wires that are involved in making everything work smoothly, and when something goes wrong, the weirdest symptoms start to appear, like the example of a 25-year-old who only gets convulsions when he solves 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 his avalanche cost a splinter rupture and a hip fracture. Though he spent a lot of time buried under the snow without enough oxygen he managed to survive until his friend who had been skiing together and who, by good luck, was a nurse and made him immediately KARPA (Cardiopulmonary revitalization).
The man was immediately transferred to hospital and there he remained for a few weeks, that is to say, for as long as the doctors judged it necessary to heal his obvious wounds.
It was then transferred to unit restoration. And there it was discovered that, when trying to solve a puzzle Sudoku, which is one of his favorite activities, suddenly starts to have undue contractions in 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 caught in the avalanche, oxygen deprivation made a particular region of the brain known as the right center-parietal region and that works when one uses his 3D imagination to become overactive. This overstimulation in turn has created uncontrollable contractions in his muscles.
His doctors prescribed anti-epileptic drugs and advised him to stay away from Sudoku puzzles.
