Dear Group, An amazing competition this year. Ben's score of over 8000 is amazing, though I'm not surprised he won. Well done Ben! Like Rob, I'd be interested...
I think the majority of people in the top 20 can comfortably memorise a pack of cards in under 40 seconds in practice, if not 30. The problem is that you may...
Aldo: How do you reduce interference? Ulrich: I am not sure if I understood your question rightly, "interference" being something which I would never reduce...
Hi everyone Thanks for all the congratulations! I'm back at home now and I'll try to reply to everything everyone's said (pretty mammoth task, I know, but...
Ben, you appear to be a true diplomat, as some of the previous champs have proven to be. It's very comforting that the memorisers are not just firing on the...
Ben: I told you in Manchester, I have to say it again: CONGRATULATIONS! This was OUTSTANDING BRILLIANT! Just to add my 2cent to discussed questions: 1. text /...
Boris, Well done on your own performance. I agree that you deserved a medal. Maybe now you can cast your mind back to some of those posts I sent in and...
This makes a lot of sense, Ulrich Just as an aside, one of the things that has struck me about recent memory events and mnemonics enthusiasts in general, is...
Sounds good to me, Ben. Memory tricks are always an interesting subject. Referring to mnemonics as tricks or miracles makes them all the more attractive to me...
Aldo! Yes, we happily concord: Knowledge being infinite (so to speak) discovery will never reach an end, nor mnemonic enthusiasm. Ulrich ... discovery ... and ...
Hi Ulrich, Why do you prefer to use only 16 loci? Is it because of a special reason depending on the nature of Chinese? If you memorise (or plan to memorise)...

Can anyone answer me this: how do you cope with using the "Journeyman" method as described by Dominic O'Brien in Quantum Memory Power when walking through your...
I'm not sure exactly what the "Journeyman" method is, so this may or may not be any use to you, but some of my routes go around buildings in the same way, and...

Hi all Using mnemonics can make you more aware of how memories can shift and change. I think this is another one of their key benefits. I use a memory route...
