Below is the written blog of @damienvince who went through a few preliminary memory tests. We are establishing a baseline for his own performance. Read on to see how he did.
Bennett has asked me to shuffle 1 full deck of cards, take out 10 random cards and see if I can figure out which ones by going through the deck.
7:50pm shuffled deck,
took 10 out
2d, 3d, As, 4s, Ac, 5H, Kh, Js, 6d, Jd
7:55pm finished as best I figured by the cards listed above.
5 minutes to figure out 10 cards, probably not a great time, but I changed strategies half way through, originally I started going through each number, whoops, that would take 13 tries, then I went the suits route, by the time I got to the Spades, I was already remembering which I hadn't seen, so was a quick check to make sure those cards and then the diamonds, and good to go. Now I'll check the 10 cards:
I got 1 wrong, somehow thought I was missing the As, but it was the Ac, If i had of reviewed my work, I probably would have gotten that one ;)
Second challenge
also want you to test your memory and try to remember 20 cards shuffled in sequence:
8:00pm
8:05pm holy crap. I ignored the suits after the first 6 cards... of which I got them, but was having a rough time, I consistently got through 14 cards correctly (without suits) and the last 6 were a blur.
A couple minutes later, I reviewed the cards one time, and went through them 18/20... still without suits.
