On the latest episode of "Where's The Lemonade?", hosts Darren and Paige found themselves delving into the intricate terrain of gender differences, specifically relating to cognitive and behavioral attributes. Armed with a curious spirit and armed with an engaging quiz, they navigated the topic like explorers charting unknown waters. 

The friendly debate started with a discussion about the ease of using a TV remote control. It was suggested that, twenty years ago, men might have confidently claimed victory in this regard, but nowadays the debate was not as conclusive. However, the Darren and Paige acknowledged that their personal frustrations with the remote control could also be linked to individual quirks and temperament rather than gender differences.

The conversation then shifted to discussing intricate handcraft skills, on which there was almost unanimous agreement. Overall, women have traditionally demonstrated excellent fine motor skills that are applicable in this area. However, the hosts acknowledged several significant exceptions to this norm that challenge stereotypical gender roles. One surprising revelation was the male host's exceptional ability to untangle complex jewelry chains, a task that many people might assume women would be better at due to their generally superior fine motor skills.

The conversation shifts to a topic that almost everyone can relate to - problem-solving. They emphasize that sometimes people aren't looking for solutions, but simply want to express their concerns. Being listened to can bring relief and give us a fresh perspective on how we deal with difficulties.

The quiz results lead to better-mutual understanding, emphasizing the significance of recognizing and respecting each other's differences. A distinct instance was their sharing of an unexpected 'Lemonade' moment of being stuck on an airport tarmac. Initially a source of frustration, this 'lemon' experience eventually morphed into a relaxed and rejuvenating 'lemonade' moment.

Darren gets stuck on an airplane on the tarmack in Chicago waiting 4 hours for a storm to pass. He finds time to disconnect from the world and relax.

1. Is the basic brain pattern that we have from conception male or female? All brains are initially female, but for males it changes from six weeks after conception and men's brains develop differently. Because men's brains change there is more potential for wider extremes of brain capabilities. Therefore more men are likely to be geniuses or mentally handicapped.

2. Who are more likely to be colour-blind – men or women? Over 10% of men are at least partially colour-blind. Very few women are.

3. Who have better spatial awareness? Men. So they find it easier to park a car or to reverse it. 4. How do women shop? They find shopping relaxing, rejuvenating - trying on different clothes. It can be unstructured and it does not need a definite outcome. (This does not apply to food shopping though!)

5. How do men shop? Men shop with definite objectives and a timetable – the quicker the better. 6. Whose skin is more sensitive to touch – men's or women's? Women's – their skin is thinner; also they have an extra layer of fat beneath it, which adds to beauty in youth and wrinkles in old age.

7. Who feel the cold more? Men – because they lack that layer of fat. But because of it women have the greater problem with hot temperatures.

8. Who are better at reading body language? Women.

9. Who are better at distinguishing between high-pitched noises? Women.

10. Who are better at identifying from where sounds come? Men.

11. Who have the lower pain threshold? Men – except when focussed on a physical task or sporting activity.

12. Who are better able to discern salty or bitter tastes? Men – which is why they like beer.

13. Who are better able to discern sweet tastes? Women – hence chocholics.

14. Who have the finer sense of smell? Women.

15. Who have more brain cells? Men – approximately 4 billion more than a woman.

16. Who use only the left side of the brain for speech? Men. Women use both sides.

17. Who are better at languages? Women.

18. Who are better at mathematics? Men.

19. Who find it easier to read while listening and talking? Women.

20. Whose brain is more compartmentalised? Men. At the end of a busy day a man's brain can file his problems away.

21. How does a woman get rid of problems from her mind? By talking about them – the objective is not necessarily to find solutions but to discharge the problems.

22. Who use more words in a day? …. Women.

23. and by what rough proportion? Approaching three times the words of men.

24. What chief purpose do men see in the telephone? As a communication tool for asking questions and giving information.

25. What chief purpose do women see in the telephone? As a means of developing and sustaining relationships.

26. Who are able to speak and listen at the same time? Women. Men can usually only do one at a time.

27. When a man has a problem what does he do? He withdraws into himself and/or uses his recreational or hobby skills while working out the solutions.
