    a:

    This is very difficult question to answer like difficult is to find two same look and think people in a world. Each person has different ability to gain knowledge depending on the person’s age, eyesight, reflexes and other factors. Statistics show that group of people in ages 15-19 learn faster than a group of people ages 20-27 but this is nothing new and as you know the older you get, the more difficult it will be to get trained, because with age, people develop more apprehension.
