Fastest Brain on earth: World Record in Speed Cards

[notfarfromhome]

Green Hornet intro, cool. I guess one's mind does buzz as much when performing such mental feats!

[kikikikia]

Are you planning on beating Mr Pridmore's record some time?

[maxxius12]

[ryanfenton382]

omg this song is annoying

[Flauwy01]

@ryanfenton382 Dear god, please give me the ability to turn of the sound. Wait a minute, what is this stupid speaker icon doing? I bet thats a mean trick by YouTube to make me click on an ad. But I am not that stupid! ;-)

[fefafe334]

[TheFOFplayer]

@Flauwy01 hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaha­hhahahah omg xD

[MrKeith117]

@Flauwy01 haha your awesome for doing that

[aztecace]

@TheFOFplayer Keep pressing to make a song!

[paulhil25]

I hate the background music, it make's me sick!

[FTricks]

Somebody knows how he do it? Does he have 1 image in head on 2 cards? And why he makes group of cards after remembering?

[pabergg]

@FTricks He does have one image/2 cards. Althought most other do this with one image per card.

He almost certainly doesnt fully remember all cards. Therefore he puts the cards he do remember in order and after that he knows where the other cards should be. By knowing where they should be you could often recall which card it was when you see it. That is what you see him doing at the end of the recall when he is looking at the cards left.

[FTricks]

@pabergg Thanx!

[lopytube]

@pabergg this is inspiring slash slightly discouraging.

My fastes time was bout a min.But I never have reach that unthinkable time since.

what was bothersome was I made a bet with my teacher in front of the peers that I could remember the single deck.

Although I understand stand the mnemonics fully I do know my focus wasnt at its peak.I remember bout 7cards then started messing up.

They were impressed....I wasnt

[asadhaider1000]

amazing world record, thanks for uploading

[devarkk]

Amazing memory, also... love the hat xD

"SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!..."

[jnoort]

Very nice! I didn't know they used stackmat timers in this sport too! Since when do they do that?! :)

[Flauwy01]

@jnoort For several years now. Both sports have a good relationship with each other. Speed Stacks are sponsoring the bigger memory competitions with the timers. They are very helpful.

[jnoort]

@Flauwy01

That's cool to hear.. It's the same with my sport.. I don't do speedstacking, but I do have a stackmat timer :).

[coolfrog23]

@Flauwy01 Rather funny because speedcubing also uses Speedstacks. from what i know about this and Big cube BLD you both use similar methods for memorization. Out of curiosity, have you ever met chris hardwick or mike hughey? They are rather big in the cubing world, not for fast memo or anything but just being good at large memorization. A big cube (5x5) has aprox 24 things/images/people for centers, 18 for edges (36) and 4 or something for corners... then there is also parity, and other things..

[Flauwy01]

@coolfrog23 No, I don't know those guys. But Speedcubing is really fun. I started it recently and I can see the fascination of it - although I suck at it. ;) I used mnemo techniques to memorise the beginners method and it was pretty simple. Memorising the Fridrich method though seems to be tough - but doable.

[coolfrog23]

@Flauwy01

I think that most methods don't need to be memorised. CFOP is mostly intuitive (For the first two layers part) Personally I use a different method, however know multiple sets of algorithms and have no problems recalling them (aprox 150+). However I remember a post from Chris Tran (memorised full ZBLL, a set of 412 algorithm with reflections) and that his recollection started to become related to scents, people, and other realistic things. If you progress you might enjoy Big cube BLD

[coolfrog23]

@Flauwy01 Long time no talk, Hehe.

Anyhow, I was wondering if there was a memory "forum" so to speak? I was thinking of taking up more than big cube blindfolded (What I got into, what do you know)

[mauriciomb55555]

@jnoort this is a sport?

[jnoort]

@mauriciomb55555 I guess you can see it as a memory sport yeah... Allthough I understand if people don't want to call it that.

[goodjoe1]

how is this possible?

[ginschmadkahz]

very awesome video! funny how he's not even using noise-cancelling-equipment.

[magnum66]

Thanks for leading me to this video Kai in your favorites.

Truly astounding!

[Lity10]

@ginschmadkahz he is, you just can't see it from here =D

[Brocaserter]

@ginschmadkahz He does ;-)

[Sillybunnycat]

cool

[jpwip]

i think 20 secs is a really hard/impossible barrier at this level... but 22 sec... good luck!!!

[magicman3876]

when will be the 20 minute barrier, ben? great performance...congratulations!­

[FrankS414]

Nicht schlecht...^^
