Meet the two-time world champion in memory

What do a cake, a ghost and a helmet have in common? Well, they represent the first nine decimals of pi. At least, that’s according to Jonas von Essen, student at Chalmers University of Technology and two-time world champion in memory.
Six years ago, Jonas von Essen had no idea that he would become a two-time world champion in memory. He even says that he had quite a bad memory. Thanks to a book on memory techniques he found at the library, Jonas started to get interested in the subject and only three months later, he won the Swedish championship in memory. One year after that he became world champion.

He recently made the attempt but messed up a little past the 20,000 mark. I hope he tries again, soon!

@Bethany Sandles I think what had happened was he had the right numbers for a section, but he put them in the wrong order (e.g. 6672539 8010273 --> 8010273 6672539) You may know how to drive but still get into an accident. You may know a language but still make an occasional spelling error.

@Bethany Sandles Ah gotcha. Nope, I don't remember what the goal was but it was a world record.

Memory palace

@kelceyfirth 4 жыл бұрын

I'm 15 years old and from England, I've been looking into the memory palace technique to help me in revising for my GCSE exams. I always assumed it wouldnt work for me because i dont have a visual memory, i just have inner thoughts and pitch black, I guess. However, after trying some basic words to loci, and it surprisingly worked and i still remember them 2 weeks later! I hope to use this technique to learn quotes for english, required practical methods for science and concepts for computing. I've started on English by linking the quotes to parts of my English classroom!

Eyyy moved to England finished the mocks, when I moved to my new school they decided to give me a exam sheet and I answered it 77/80 which idk why but it apparently surprised them and in the math mock I got a 68/80 on a higher paper, which broke my ego so much cuz even if I was on top in my year it didn't even reach 70 which was my target, and I simply just use similar to what this guy said, using image as a basis for calculations is what I did, I put each formula in a small sheet of paper and recited everything over and over again, but with how I did in math you might think that I would also be awesome at other subjects, right? NO you're wrong my English didn't even pass as I got 28/60 for paper 1 and 34/60 for paper 2 and other subjects aside from math and arts are almost failing

If you have not visual memory you can use written words. Sometimes memory is not enough. You have to use study techniques.

@robinsonner5461 2 жыл бұрын

Its because you are so old that when you were a lad they only knew PI to 50 digits and that guy remembered them all. So he got the world record for remembering PI. Now the equivalent memory feat would be knowing all of PI, which we know to like 5 trillion digits or something.
