I saw the memory games documentary few years ago and it was an amazing movie!
How can I watch the memory games documentary if it isn't available in Netflix anymore?
do you have any idea?
@@itamarsasson it’s not on Netflix anymore but hopefully it will be available somewhere else soon! I’ll make sure to let you all know once I know
I watched Hikaru's video as well and I was so impressed.
If the five-time US chess champion has a mind blowing memory, I wonder, does a four-time US memory champion have a decent ability to play chess 😀
It isn't necessarily that he has a good memory it's that he utilized his memory incredibly well. Memorizing the chest board is a skill that all grandmasters have perfected and so he took the information on the screen and translated it to a medium that he was already incredibly good at. It's a very smart strategy. This sort of thing is discussed in the book moon walking with Einstein so if you're interested in how it works I recommend picking it up. It's a very easy read.
A memory champion wouldn't particularly be better at chess. He would have an advantage if he started studying it, but he'd still be bad at it since it's a totally different skill
@@hereandnow3156 Give me important facts form moonwalking with einstein
Nope
Decent? Not yet. Working on it!
I'm glad I discovered your CZcams channel. Your interview with Barbara Oakley was very eye opening on how you are able to use you mind to accomplish these type of things.
Excellent video! Explains your process of encoding via story really well. I was able to kind of memorize with you using your own algorithm which was pretty cool. Having each number have 3 options seems incredibly powerful, I'm gonna have to invent my own system for that.
I really enjoy your videos. Your production is amazing.
This is really dope dude. I could watch this all day. Amazing talent.
great video! didn't expect to be so entertained by some memory things
I love that you're also a fan of Cheese05! He's such a lovely guy
your cutaways are hilarious!
i would be impressed if you just wrote them down after getting the numbers into the palace, but doing this purely in your head is even more impressive. great editing and attention to detail, i think the screen at an angle with the shadow is such a good touch!
I thought about doing that at one point, but decided it would be more "pure" this way!
I mean even this method kinda defeats the purpose of using memory since it's using a completely different type of memory than what he's doing for the first few numbers. I'm curious how far we can push that type of memory. Even so it can be impressive/fun to see these word play stories that people use in these memory palaces and it's a very effective way to remember something. Definitely a good choice to not use paper or anything else external as well as 1, remembering a few sentences is all you need and 2, writing it out would require basically no memory at all as the association is already there.
@@NelsonDellis: I'm going to disagree with both people here. I would not be impressed if you wrote anything down, as this is intended to be a mental exercise, benchmarking how your brain compares to others. Good job not cheating.
I also think that your method is completely legitimate, as legitimate as any other method. It doesn't matter how you're memorizing the values, as long as you can accurately recall them. That's like saying Hikaru's method "defeats the purpose" because he encoded the values as chess squares.
Let's be clear: No correctly functioning human being can memorize the individual positions of 40 different number locations without relating them to each other. They are performing some kind of encoding; whether that is encoding via patterns, shapes, memory palace, chess board, or whatever else doesn't matter.
Using an encoding that beats other people's encoding doesn't mean anything except that you're winning. No one can know what's going on in someone else's head anyways. Just because you said it out loud doesn't change anything. The end result is the same, and it's brilliant.
Congratulations! A job well done.
@@mayebeline1149uhhh...no. Writing it down is most certainly cheating. You're basically just drawing what's on the screen. That's like remembering a phone number by looking it up.
@@mikeboon279: "uhhh...no. [proceeds to say exactly what I said in my first paragraph]" You good?
At first I thought this is pointless because working memory is constant but now I realize that it's fundamentally a strength of humans to overcome that limitation by association and "chunking" of working memory items into lesser into lesser items that can be managed still within the constraints.
Yep. I've gotten pretty good at using shapes and patterns for things like this, but I can see how his radically different approach could be more effective and potentially go further (memorizing more information) in a context like this.
Although, I feel there is enough difference with the kinds of information people memorize that different contexts will give very different results. In the context of this human benchmark test, I could easily believe that this memory palace approach could go further than using shapes and patterns.
However, in the game Simon, I can use pattern encoding to reach a score above 50. I don't think the memory palace approach will work in this context, even if there wasn't a time limit involved (or rather, even if you could construct your memory palace instantaneously). Memorizing a long repeating sequence that only contains 4 possible values doesn't seem like it can be handled well with a memory palace (although this is coming from someone with no experience using the memory palace approach, so what do I know lol).
I just don't see how it would work... but hey, if he reads this comment and decides to take a crack at Simon to show how it's done, I'm down for being proven wrong.
This is the way the good model looks for Simon btw (although I don't purchase mine from this link): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRNSRWK/
This model is great because it keeps extending the sequence indefinitely (some other models will stop you at 31 or sometimes even lower). There's a series of lights/beeps after you're done that tells you your score.
This test is about short term memory specifically. Working memory encompasses short term, but this is specifically the short term part of working memory being tested
Extremely impressive stuff Nelson. You are the king the greatest ape on the planet now.
Awesome! I also released a video a few months ago hitting 40! It's really interesting to see your method, seems a lot more efficient than mine haha; I tried imagining shapes and lines and how it would play out as the numbers disappear
This is how I encode the number locations as well. I found this video pretty interesting with how he's achieving the same result with such a radically different approach.
Thats literally the same strat I used and got to 25 with 0 strikes… (did it in class and ran out of time cuz class ended, so had to give up😅). Gonna use same strat and aim for 30.
I did hear somewhere Hikaru also spent a lot of time memorising them as well (around half an hour if im not wrong?), idk if it really matters in any way, oh and yeah the way he used his chess-board knowledge in this is smart.
brilliant job ..nelson..👌👌👌👌
You make History. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha. Good work Nelson. I watched your videos about memorize numbers and it was helpful. Is there any possibility that you can make a new one? By the way loved your video quality. It is brutal.
I was actually thinking my old number videos needed a refresher. Will work on that.
@@NelsonDellis Glad to hear that. Looking forward for that.
Patrick, is that you?
this is the most baffling thing i have ever witnessed i dont even know how to explain it omfg
Congratulations!
The mental fortitude to do that with a touchpad is more impressive
I was thinking of why it would not be much easier if you used a relative positional encoding so that it would be easy to navigate from one number to the next instead of memorising numbers as rows... I mean it is more specific for this challenge in lines of efficiency right?
Great video! I got up to 16 today, which I think is pretty good, I have REALLY bad memory, so this was a fun challenge!
Apparently you have a rather strong working memory. I peaked at 14 today..But I am new to this kind of stuff. I am improving so much
@@seohix I stopped at 26 due to boredom on my first try and I could have gotten to 30+ easy if not all the way to 40. I have a terrible memory though. This test isn't impressive since it's not on a timer. I just do it in my head over and over again until I have it down. That's pretty easy.
Nelson, have you tried the Visual Memory test on the same site? How do you train to improve on the Visual Memory test?
i really can't believe you can run out of space in a memory palace
Now you are chimp champ as well
Congratulations for your record, how far You can go in sequence memory?
You showed those chimps who is the boss. Great video.
I think ive seen a vid about chimps having amazing visual memory, so they can easily do this
Amazing
This is very entertaining
the brain is good at pattern detection and chunking. but you don't need to remember the last number, since it is left over. maybe it works better to chunk it into smaller patterns, and try to store the pattern blocks in a palace
Love the modesty of not assuming you're smarter than a chimpanzee till you test it. ahahah
I made the comment on your last video saying that you've missed out by quitting before 30. Glad you chose to experience it in full.
So, I've beaten this test in 2h40m without any strikes. I Just wanna brag, lol. But yeah, I didn't have my family screaming and I wasn't recording a video.
I would close my eyes and try to repeat the sequence with my mouse to help me memorize this stuff.
Being a chess player was a boon, cause I could associate certain "moves" to knight moves, or bishop moves like "MegaKnight move"(3x1), "knight + 1"(3x2), "GigaKnight"(4x1), "A doubleback"(depends on the situation) and many others.
When I was sure that I memorized everything, I just executed the move sequence in like 30-40 seconds max. Memorizing though took a damn long time.
Anyway, you've got yourself a like, mister. It's fun to watch other people's associations and strategy)
Dude! That's amazing. I know there are people out there who have beaten the test. Nice to hear from one of them! 2h40 minutes with no strikes is insane. It's interesting though: sounds like your memorization took longer than me, but your recall was faster. Whereas my memo was "fast" but recall was slow. Fascinating.
@@NelsonDellis I wonder if chess moves and memory palace could go well together to quickly memorize and recall spatial games like this test.
@@calunsagrenejr they might do, i mean people who can recall text better can just learn the positions of the numbers, and then memorise them in a sequence!
@@NelsonDellis Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he used chess moves to memorize them. In his real life he physically interacts with the board to move the pieces so maybe that makes that sort of association very concrete for him and made memorization slower because he wasn't dealing with the actual chess board. But, once the association was made the recall was much quicker because there was a physical aspect to it. I'm no scientist so thats all just a guess but still, super interesting!
That's how I got to 40 as well. It took me 3.5 hours though. also had 1 strike
Thats a cool video!!!!!!!
I just think it's easier memorizing each row of numbers like memorizing pi sequences
Can you do visual memory next?
Wooo💪
Sir Outstanding
Luv from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵 BiGFan🙏
Hi sir I'm from india Sir i regularly watch your videos,
Ur videos was amazing
I have been preparing upsc, that is toughest exam in india, plz help me sir how to prepare that exam
Wow, man!
Biggest fan bro lots of love from Nepal.... N first comment
@Urgyen hello
Thats cool this man use chess notation to remind position
21 was my capacity, past this point though i still got the directions right but i was not able to remember the image which made me confused when there were a lot of numbers adjacent to one another. A big chunk of 4x2 with a floaty block or two for example. Always got the row wrong.
But i think i would be able to surpass that if i remember the locations instead of orders. But again, that would take too much time for me to remember.
And i am still worse than the chimp because i can only recognize 7-8 numbers instantly. If there are 9-10 i would have to take at least a few seconds to take in.
can i got your memory system, i dont know what it should be called, but i dont know how to make it, is it needed to have all subject obeject verb and place for each number
Look at some of his other videos on remembering numbers and cards. He's using a memory palace, and encoding the numbers using the PAO system and the Dominic system. Look up: memory palace, PAO system, and Dominic system.
how is cheese more impressive than gm hikaru at the chimp test in your opinion? also nice attempt you definitely have genius memory. or genius ability to strategize and memorize a decently large amount of information which I assume is very helpful in games and exams etc. what's true in the first order is usually true in the preceding levels of complexity.
making pao system is really difficult will take me time
I think the chess grid history is quite interesting
You are god bro love your videos ♥
I just did 30 numbers in 1 hour and 4 minutes, by memorising sequences from 1 to 9, 10 to 20 and so on .. I could have done it faster but i took extra caution
Love from Nepal
Aboriginals have a different memory system and amazing results in Kim's Game. Anyone tribal had a go?
My short term memory is really bad, kinda depressing seeing most of my scores being 20-40%.
Hulk smashed the like button
Tried using the even number technique, I failed miserably.
You know what this mean: We need to teach chimps to play chess
You need to play a game of chess against Hikaru.
HE IS MONSTER
Would it have been faster if you memorized the position of the number sequence?
Say "1" is in the 4th row 5th column, you'd memorize 45 as the first number and vice versa
True. The problem is that when squares start to disappear after clicking them, it starts to get quite disorienting with what rows and columns are left. But it probably could be done! Not sure how much faster it would have been.
@@NelsonDellis is your wife's names leah
@chunyuen93 I had the exact same idea; I think it would be so much more efficient, because you don't need to recall the whole sequence to find the next square, and you can gurantee until the last squares storing 3 square positions per loci. It's also extremely similar to Hikaru's method, making me wonder how much Hikaru could improve at this if he stored some ideas in a memory palace
i like how 27 is the "BG" dance, because B is letter 2 and G is letter 7
12:09
also 33 = "C"3 (PO) and 23 = "B"eing "C"rucified
❤️❤️❤️
Hikaru is a 5head warlord
also me and my casual 12
What about you use some special techniques to unknot your headphones ;)
I got very far using your initial strategy
THE grandmaster of chess. Lol
Plt twist : He was not using the Monitor instead he was using laptop!
The problem... No chimp sits and thinks about a 'technique'. They don't have to study patterns. They just do it. Immediately.
Chimps also can’t get up to level 40, so…
With a few hours I was able to replicate what the chimps could do immediately.
They only get up to 9 in a flash. These chimps have been doing it for a while and have an incentive for food.
I wonder why this type of task is so tiring?
Got to 20 yesterday with no faults before giving up because i got bored, I’ll try to get to 40 tomorrow and see how close I can get. Good job btw
It achieved?
19:48 uhhhh
yeah.... lol sorry
why is 12 a rubik's cube?
i got to level 21 using only triangles
2:44 I memorized 10 in 40 seconds, who's the memory champion now?
It's normal, 10 is still beginner level. Try to focus on method, not time, my friend.
@@ocrucificado1058 i got to 21 level. It says its 99.3 % so i think thats good
And im 15
♥️♥️♥️😘
Me As a new viewer :
Did he just said Britney spear?
I got to 20 on the chimp test but somehow 600 ms on the aim test. AHHHHHHHH
I should try some memorization trick for the chimp test to see if it helps. When I got to 20 a couple minutes ago, I just broke them into groups of five and memorized the patterns
damn and i was proud for getting to 19 😭
damn i also had 19 and it literally took me like 5mins for them but i was proud until i saw that vid lol
@@-angeldust After playing it for 2 weeks I was able to get to 21 a couple times but thats it :/ super hard stuff man
Hi there, I got 41 however, like you, could not save it. I memorized them through the patterns and shapes they make. Memorizing numbers and using memory palaces is very foreign to me. It took me about 10 minutes for memorization for the last test, however the recall was much easier, taking about 80 seconds. (My attempt was over a week. I could not do it in one sitting)
my best is 17 I thought that was decent
That's really good, especially when just using working memory.
Highest I got to was 21
I did 19 and I was feeling special, now I dont lol
19 is definitely epic!!
you gave lots of nepali suscribers so make some nepali topice base video please
Like what?
pretty sure every single person can get 30 if they try hard enough
Damn, me thinking I’m the best at 19
I did 21
I think you approached this wrong. You should have assigned a number to each position in the grid and then placed the image corresponding to the position in order in your palace. Then recall is simply walking through the palace retrieving which position in the grid to click (ex A2 C5 B1). Granted it might get a little harder when there are few tiles left since the grid lines aren’t drawn.
Thanks for the vid!
Assigning numbers to numbers is not a good association, you want to assign very different things.
@@Roescoe I think you misunderstand. In my system, the number on the tile is represented by the order in the memory journey. And the **position** of the tile (like A2 C5 or B5 if you map the board like a chess board) is represented by his typical PAO system images. So recall is just walking your journeys next position, recalling the image, translating image to the position, clicking that position on the board, and moving on. His current system makes him have to jump around the journey decoding his image looking for the next number. Seems tiring!
@@andrewlewis7610 True enough you only need to remember the letter number sequence, but that's not really any easier than remembering position in any other way.
Like why not assign each x co-ord a color and each y co-ord an animal?
@@Roescoe Because instead of using the letter/number sequence (or color/animal sequence in your case) he'd number each square to utilize his already highly trained PAO system. It would work like this: I counted 5 rows of 8 squares so the first row would be 1-8, then 9-16, then 17-24, then 25-32 , and finally 33-40. Then he can use his normal number system to memorize the specific square. His number system is already highly trained and can compact 3 squares into one image (due to PAO) so it's very efficient.
great minds think alike

40
🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Im not sure if you already know this or not, but Chimps have a photographic memory. It is thought that we lost ours because of our language and use of symbols and communication.
well hikaru had second monitor from which he was getting all the answers where each number was. that was lame....
What? Seriously? Where did you hear that?
i doubt he’d do that
Tommy Cherry would easily get 40
🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I only got 25 in the chimp test
