Memory Masters 1/5

6:47 why does this professor wear his hat like that?!?!

If there was no "trick" "trade secret" behind it, they would teach others how to do it. But to me it's like pro wrestling in the early days. One day they will show their hand.

@bigbro02 I would suggest reading "secrets of mental math" by, arthur benjamin & michael shermer and "how to develop a perfect memory" by, dominic o'brien.

[bigbro02]

@poetyaright Thanks, will do.

Just an FYI, the Pi recollection really isn't that impressive. Mnemonics teaches you exactly how to do this, it isn't even really that difficult once you've practiced for a while. There's a world record for some guy who memorized something ridiculous like over 1m places of Pi. He's not a savant, just a guy who worked hard.

I'm not saying Savants don't exist or anything, just that memory is a poor measure for it. Well, perhaps untrained memory like that is impressive, but who can determine ?

nice

@PadawanRay Yes! You are right, and thank God that doctors do not do that. All of the vaccinations for children in the US are Thimerosal-free (when you squawked about mercury, Thimerosal was what you meant: that is the preservative in old vaccines that contains ethyl mercury). Of course, you might have gotten a dose as a child, which would explain your deficits in thinking and reasoning, and hence your blind belief that "the evil doctors are injecting mercury!!"

[Mickael709]

It's funny to be amazed by a man who is making calculations that a less than $10 calculator can do faster.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@Mickael709 and? lol this is the human brain you twat not a calulator

[Moh1Z]

@Mickael709 Umm... I don't know if you've ever used a calculator but one that costs less than $10 can't do that at all whatsoever.

[dhead64]

@Moh1Z Sorry, but no $10 calculator figures numerical division by 166 decimal places.

[Moh1Z]

@dhead64 Yeah... That was my point exactly.

[ThePaul1E]

@Mickael709 haha he surpasses the computer I think a computer is pretty expensive isnt it

[vincentizghra]

[lachlandalton]
