Ultimate System Something This Way Comes

So I spent 30mins a day for the past week coming up with my new card system. Ben Prid. said he has 2704 image which allows him to remember two cards with one image. Dennis Mul. says 2652 images as you will not get the same cards twice. I agree with the latter, as I will always remember one deck at a time and not intrashuffle the decks.

Of the 2652 images, 1326 are people, 1326 are objects (which I've yet to do as objects are easier than prescribing than people)

Rather than code for the images in wordy system like Bens, I chose to catergorise my system, it's easier for me and also it only includes images I'd like to remember. I don't like following the trend of something, appearantly Ed Cooke and James Ponder are delving into the Ben system. German wise, Dennis Muller and Simon Reinhard have a second level card master system, so I assume this is where the memory sports train is headed if one is to succeed. All aboard!!!

My system is quite nice because I have friends, family, old school teachers and that as images. All the objects I intend to make very personal like the Jerusalem plate my mum bought 18 years ago, which I broke, or the Japanese fisherman antique plate...which I broke.

So once I get this system out the way then it's decimal digits time, then binary time. And hopefully come up with a system for names and faces which is numerically prescribed depending on the features of the person.

I've decided I'd like to be quite good at memory, the only reason I don't go all out on compotitions or practice is that I know there is a better sytem for me...hopefully this is it.

Training for the Swedish championship is slow. I might do some binary and decimals after I written this.

I intend to use this new system for Wales and the UK Open 2010. Hopefully, it'll be smoothed out by the WMC 2010.

Also, cheers James Paterson for reading my blog.
