Grandmaster of Memory

Recently I was watching a TV show on US Memory Championships. I was curious about what it takes to be a Grandmaster of Memory.

There are now new Grandmaster norms which have come into force after the 2003 World Memory Championships.

1) 1000 digits in one hour

2) Ten decks of cards in one hour

3) Two minutes to memorise one deck of cards

I will sign-up online for the local chapter for memory contests, as soon as I find my misplaced wallet!

Memory quote (source unknown):
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
