Memory Sports, this term probably exists since 1991, when the first World Memory Championships took place. The results increased dramatically during the last years. The competitions usually consist of ten different disciplines. The competitors memorize numbers, playing cards, words, names and many more things. For example the world record for memorizing the order of a shuffled deck of cards is 26 seconds: Thats two cards per second!

And yes: Everyone can learn that. These skill is based on the mnemonic techniques like the loci method. It is easy to learn: After an few afternoons a number of 40 digits would be no problem for you anymore.

The event takes place from August, 31st to September 2nd. About 70 competitors registered. The German team consists of 6 people and I am a part of it. I hope to be able to post some videos and news during the next days, but I cant promose anything. The so called broadband internet connection for 6 euros per 30 minutes has a got a speed of less than 3kb/s.

But besides that, the hotel is great. Exspecially the swinning pool, because with above 40° Celsius it is extremly hot outdoors. And very humid too.

Thats for now,

all the best,

Boris
