Sam Sloan has won the Silver Medal (Second Prize) in the World Memory
Championships.
http://www.worldmemorychampionships.com/absolutecontent/content/2011_World_Memory_Championships_Final_Results.pdf
The World Memory Championships were contested in Guangzhou China on
December 7-10, 2011. There are nine categories of memory, including
the ability to remember random numbers, random words, binary digits,
abstract images, names and faces, dates of events and decks of cards.
Winner was a 73-year-old grandmother, Kuang Liqun, who goes by the
name of "Lily". Two of her grandsons won the grandmaster title and one
of them won the World Junior Memory Championship.
There was wide variation among the abilities of the contestants to
perform various memory tasks. For example, 16-year-old Sri Vyshnavi
Yarlagadda of Hydrabad India won the "Names and Faces" contest by a
wide margin by being able to remember 92 names and faces in five
minutes, but she finished near the bottom in the test of speed cards
by being able to remember only five playing cards in five minutes.
Apparently she has not spent much time playing cards.
Girls tended to do better in Names and Faces and dates and historic
events whereas men did better in remembering random numbers.
To win the grandmaster title one needs to be able to memorize a
complete deck of cards in less than 60 seconds and to memorize 200
random numbers in 15 minutes, among other tasks.
The event was organized by Chess Grandmaster Raymond Keene and Tony
Buzon. Jennifer Goddard did all the work especially in calculating the
prize winners.

As usual Sam is being modest.

First, he neglected to mention that his cumulative score was the
lowest in the entire competition. Sam scored 306 points to the
winner's 20 thousand. The second lowest score was Simone Rosati of
Italy, who scored 700 points, double the Sloon's. There were many
unqualified entrants, so to have the worst score is quite an
accomplishment.
Second, Sloan neglected to mention that he competed in the prestigious
"Senior" Division. As everyone knows old people have really good
memories, so the competition there must have been as stiff as an 80
year olds erection.
Third, as far as I can tell from the score sheet, there were only two
competitors in the senior division, which is the division Sam managed
his second.
Finally, Sloan neglected to post his scores. Here they are. He managed
to come within one or two spots of dead last in 6 out of 7 areas, with
a top finish of 101st out of 112.
Names: 108th / 111
Hours: 109th /109
Images 109th /110th
Dates 109th/ 111
Words 104th / 104
Numbers 106th / 110
Speed Cards 101st / 112
It seems the world memory championships are like one of those tether
ball games they play at the special Olympics where everyone wins and
gets a prize. The difference between Sloan and a retard is that the
retard has too much self respect to boast his accomplishment.
Congratulations Sam!

last. Moreover, the Chinese are much too polite to tell you what the
inscription on the medal means.
So now Dung Bi Tel is self-anointed World Champion of Chinese Chess
AND
Self-Proclaimed Champion of World Memory.
No more mountains to climb for our Hero!

To those of you who doubt that I really did win the Silver medal at
the World Memory Championships, here is a picture of me receiving the
medal and holding the giant trophy they gave me.
(The trophy I got was bigger than the trophy they gave the person who
won the event.)
Regarding my low scores in some of the events, let me explain that
these contestants had trained for months or even years to perform
certain memory tasks. For example, I asked Sri Vyshnavi Yarlagadda of
Hydrabad India, the 16-year-old girl who won the names and faces
memory contest, what does she do, what are her hobbies and what does
she study, and she replied she does names and faces, she studies names
and faces and her hobbies are names and faces.
She said that she used to be a chess player but she only got to 1600
so she gave that up and took up names and faces instead.
She got 92 names and faces right in 15 minutes and that was more than
30% more than the second place finisher. Second place in Names and
Faces was James Ponder from England. He only got 66 right. I spoke to
him as he was departing for the airport and he was very disappointed
in his poor performance. He had come all the way from the UK just for
this event.
I suspect that Sri Vyshnavi Yarlagadda got her start on names and
faces so that she could learn to remember her own name.
Here is her picture, wearing her medal.

Do not worry. She brought her mother with her from India for her
protection. I doubt she is even 16 as she is not fully grown yet.
By contrast, I was a walk-in. I attended this event essentially by
accident, as I did not know about it and was on my way to Beijing for
the Sports Accord event. I did not know the rules and messed up
several of the events as a result. I tested several of the
grandmasters on simple memory tests and found that my natural memory
ability was just as good and probably better than theirs. This is a
positive point for the event as it proves that even a person with
average memory ability can, with training, perform fantastic feats of
memory, such as remembering one thousand random numbers in 15 minutes.
Actually, the World Champion on this test was given 3000 numbers to
memorize in one hour figuring that this was the maximum but two people
memorized all 3000 numbers without a mistake, so there was a tie so
they had to do it all again, this time with 4000 numbers.
The winner was world champion Liu Su who memorized 3390 numbers,
followed by Wang Feng with 3360 numbers. Third was Yu Binjing, a
female law student with 2278 numbers. Here is a picture of me
congratulating Yu Binjing on her third place result. (It is a good
picture.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/43181281@N05/6492610439/in/set-72157628355388991

They give you a bunch of dates to memorize of events that never
happened, such as:
California Breaks Off and Falls into the Sea in 2013
That event was not on this year's test but they should add it for next
year.
One actually on the test was:
Space Aliens Conquer Earth in 2099
One that is not Fake is:
End of the World as Predicted by the Mayans in 2012
One imaginary but most unlikely is:
Goichberg stops rigging USCF elections and allows first free elections
since 2006.

Sorry, the girl in the picture with me was not Yu Bingjin. She is Wang
Xiaolu who is a law student who finished fifth over all and was the
top female. She finished ahead of Yu Bingjin a male who finished
tenth. Among other females who finished in the top ten over all were
Hu Xiaoling who finished seventh over all and Li Dandan who finished
ninth.
Considering that the contestants were 75% male, since three of the top
ten were female that shows that the girls were just as good if not
better than the boys.

Sorry, I should have explained that the blond is Assistant Arbiter
Jennifer Goddard of Australia who is the head of the Australian Memory
Association.
I do not think these people are idiot savants. I think they are
average people who have studied and practiced for years.
For example, for random numbers they have practiced and pre-memorized
a person's face to correspond with each possible three-digit number
from 000 to 999. For example, they might remember that 000 is Mary
Smith and 487 is Robert Jones and so on. So, for example, if they
encounter the sequence 000487 they just visualize the picture of Mary
Smith next to Robert Jones. This means that instead of remembering six
numbers they just have to remember two faces. If required to remember
30 random numbers they just have to remember a sequence of ten faces.

You have plenty of your own groups, "Dr. Jai Maharaja" so post your

We are not contesting your right to post. Everybody has the right to
post. However, what you are doing is imposing on this public group
your views about an unrelated subject, "The Schacter Memory lab" by
Dr. Jai Maharaj.
The only reason soc.culture.indian is included in this thread is that
a 16-year-old girl from India won the Gold Medal in a memory contest.
If you are saying that her victory is due to help by "The Schacter
Memory lab" in New Jersey, then say that but do not change the title
of this thread to a subject of interest only to you.
You have been filling up soc.culture,indian with your rants for at

Either prove your claims (you can't because they are false) or be

I am not compelled to produce anything to satisfy the likes of you.
You made a claim, you prove it! (You can't because you made a false
claim.) Is your real name "Mohammad", by the way, or some other
Muslim name?

Who says that I was born in New Jersey? Is that what you claim? Prove it.

By the way, since you brought it up, I am in Tianjin, China near
Beijing and I just bought the Holy Bible in Chinese. I will be
reprinting it when i get back to the USA in about a week.
I bought 16 books in Chinese yesterday. These are all very old books
that I will reprint when I get back to the USA.
These are on traditional Chinese subjects such as acupuncture, Chinese
Herbal medicine, Chinese history of the Ming Dynasty and the Tung Han
and Xi Han Dynasties, and literature by famous Chinese writers, plus
the Holy Bible in Chinese and a book on Tibetan Buddhism.

Um, Sam? We've had English versions of the Bible for quite some time
now.

Bible Society sells a version of the Bible they call "The Holy Bible
Today's Chinese Version, No 103820"
http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Todays-Chinese-Version-103820/dp/9622934579
They think they are selling the new version. Actually, they are
selling the old version that uses an obsolete script that nobody here
knows how to read any more except for old people.
So these missionaries who come to China bringing Bibles are trying to
bring the way, the truth and the life using a Bible that nobody
remembers how to read.
So, if these people want to learn the true word of God, they will have
to read the Sam Sloan Bible !!!
