So i can memorise up to 260 digits of pi, and i am going to learn more and hopefully get into the thousands. However i cant find any competitions to participate in. Would anyone know of online comps or a subreddit dedicated to memorising pi or just anywhere to be in a competition of memorising pi?

I'm playing a game where you have to find as many words as possible as fast as possible in a crossword type of layout and you go against other players. I'm one of the best players in the Spanish mode but there are still a few players who are better than me, for that reason I wrote down over a thousand words that I want to learn in order to be the best Spanish speaking players in the game.

What are some good ways to learn all these words fast? Is there any app that can help me memorize them better?

I would appreciate some suggestions!

I came across the following quote in a history book from 1900:

Before reading the text of a period or section, the corresponding tables topically arranged, should be carefully memorized and frequently repeated. The tables are both sufficiently short and comprehensive to be easily mastered and yet to furnish a general framework of the chief historical events.

There don't really seem to be any tables in the book besides a table on contents at the back. Is that what this quote refers too?

Hey guys,

I hope I‘m in the right subreddit. I have an important exam that hopefully opens some doors for me career wise. For that exam I will get a sequence of numbers, I will hear 1 number per second, any number can by between 1 and 100. There are different techniques but I don’t know most of them. I know there is the „master system“ where you give every number a „sound“ from the alphabet, but that one didn’t really work for me. Do you know any other method to hopefully be successful in this task?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I should also mention that there is no limited amount of numbers. So sometimes I can get 12 numbers, sometimes maybe 15, sometimes less or more.

Not sure if this is the right sub to write this. Honestly it’s just something that’s been bothering me as of late. I tried looking it up but the internet is really vague and I’d just love any type of input . :) So for context I’m 24f , and I’ve been realizing I have been forgetting things. Now they’re playing factors into this. I take ADHD medication, I smoke and/or drink recreationally like maybe a few times a month if that when I go out. I go through little periods of time when it’s hard to sleep & I work a physically demanding job where on occasion I’ve hit my head but I don’t think I’ve ever blacked out, I previously suffered from and Ed and am diagnosed with pcos .

I think about highschool and I was pretty well on remembering things back then, it was easy to remember vocabulary and math equations and numbers ,I ended up having to drop out of college and work after 1 semester then Covid happened then I had to get help for my Ed now I’m working again and finding things very difficult.

I have to remember numbers for weight and it’s like I forget instantly My sister and I were talking and she’s bringing up entire places we went and movies we saw and days we hung out and I can’t remember them at all, like it’s not like i can’t remember the plot I was convinced I never went. I am struggling to remember time and dates now too and faces as well, like a client I’ve worked with a handful of times and I see her face often , I was staring at her in the lobby and trying to figure out if it was her. My friends always laugh at how I remember little things like favorite color/animal/song but ask me why I’m messy all the time and I always blame my adhd but I’m medicated and it’s not ever been like this before , I’ve always been messy but never bc I forgot I was cleaning ,

And I know it all sounds like little things but they’re all things that all of a sudden began to happen and what really had me thinking was that my sister was arguing with her friend and brought me in and said “well maybe we shouldn’t of done xyz” and I didn’t remember doing it but it was a whole day.

Everything just feels foggy and I don’t feel like myself , and also for about a year & 1/2 now I’ve been getting migraines first right before my presumed cycle (I lost my period August 2022 but it came back September 24) then a couple times a month , I thought it was affiliated with weather but it’s not and now I’ve been getting either headaches or migraines 3-5 times a week and it’s causing me to miss atleast 1 day a month of work bc I try and catch it with migraine pills but sometimes I miss it or the pills catch up and hurt my stomach . I just don’t feel like myself and feel too young to be forgetting especially now when I’ve never been so consistent working, eating , moving & socializing & also practicing good self hygiene and consistently taking my medication . 🥲

On and off for the past year and a half, I have been attempting to memorize as much of the Pokedex as I can in order. This has been quite a difficult yet incredibly self-rewarding task that I have thoroughly enjoyed pursuing. However, it has been difficult to find anyone else who shares the same passion for both memorization and Pokemon. I have done some research and found a few people over the years who have expressed interest in learning and wanted to reach out to anyone who may enjoy this type of activity and show them that they are not alone.

I know that this is a rather niche passion to have that also doesn't appeal to most people, but if you do find this topic interesting, I encourage you to check out the spreadsheet I made below and reach out to me if you want someone to learn with. This spreadsheet allows you to quiz yourself on your Pokedex knowledge using several different testing strategies. I have used it to successfully memorize generations 1-6 and am trying to finish the dex within the month so I can spend the rest of the year practicing.

Hello, Have you ever wanted to know how multitasking affects your typing speed? Well have I got the task for you!

I am a final year dissertation student investigating the role of different memory tasks on typing speed. The study will last around 10 minutes and you have to be over 18 and have access to a computer or desktop.

Any participation will be greatly appreciated. Link to the study below!

I used to use memorise app to do captial cities and flags. They would suggest community memory hooks e.g (azure by jam for red next to blue for Azerbaijan 🇦🇿)

I re-downloaded it recently and they’re all gone. Anyone know anything similar I can use?

I need to memorize a 1 minute monologue/speech in a foreign language I am not fluent in. I only know short/small phrases. Any tips?

I broke it up into paragraphs, with one sentence per line, to make it visual, but I’m still struggling.

For about a year ive been playing cityquiz.io and its the most fun i have personally had on a geography related game. This isnt an ad but the community is relatively small and id love to see it grow. the reddit is r/iafisher. at the moment i can recite around 2700 cities/townships.

How to improve my mind / memory.

I’m terrible with faces, names, conversations, retaining information sometimes because anxiety and depression get in the way

any suggestions to get better?

My therapist said that people without a bunch of trauma see their childhoods as like being in chapters and that people with trauma see it as more snapshots? I personally see it as more snapshots but I remember specific facts (like how I used to go to my friend's house every day one summer).

Let me know

I just wanted to know what is up with my mom and I.

My mom has a really good memory for remembering faces, doesn't even have to get close to someone or talk to them, she just remembers them if she comes across them and can tell you where she saw them first.

I have a strangely good memory for conversations. I can recall all conversations and I can even tell them word for word. I usually creep people out just from the fact I can remember conversations from over 10+ years ago. I could even repeat conversations told to me word for word, as if I lived that experience and was telling the story. I don't even know I have those memories, they just pop up when l'm having a conversation with that person. Suddenly it's like I have a whole archive of conversations with said person at my disposal.

Is this something that's inherited?

What is the most frustrating thing about memory ebooks/courses you have read or used?

Let me know down in the comments.

Say I know the first 100 digits of pi. But what if someone asks me, “what is the 45th digit?” I want to be able to learn how to memorize so that I don’t have to sequentially go through the first 44 digits of pi in my head to answer this question.

Does anyone have any tips so that I can memorize and then answer this question as fast as possible? Most number memorization methods I’ve come across are about memorizing numbers which are sequential, but those methods don’t really help me here

To get extra credit in my Science class I've got to memorize the periodic table song or the elements song by Lehrer. Doesn't matter which one but I've got a month to memorize. What's the best way?

To be sincerely honest, in my humble opinion, without offending anyone who thinks differently, and without hiding any thoughts in my mind or telling lies, to speak the actual truth with a clear, open mind and a clean heart, expressing what I've been holding back for a long time, which I didn’t say because I was nervous — today, by gathering all the courage and motivation, I just want to say that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing to say 🏃🏃🏃

I stole this text from a comment on a manhwa series and I want to remember it so that I can say it if I meet people who speak English

Hi! I have to memorize 200ish words in Italian by Tuesday. I have a very bad memory, mainly working memory (5th percentile) and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to memorize. I don’t want it to talk up hours of each of my days like it usually does

I am so bad at memorising something. Like literally. I just opened up a new bank account, and a few minutes later, as I was about to log in to that said account online, the password was incorrect. I was so pissed at myself (still am) like, how??? and WHY??? Passwords are my worst enemies. I can't for the life of me remember any of it. If I actually do, I will second-guess myself, thinking it was wrong, so I have to triple-check everything before I type it in. I hate it.

I specifically want to get better at keeping track of cards played in cassino (not that well known card game). The flow of the game is basically as follows:

1. First round, each player (4) gets 4 cards and 4 cards are placed face up in the table.
2. After every player has used up their cards (1 card per turn), the round ends
3. Then a new round begins by giving players 4 cards each, again, but not placing 4 on the table. Table cards are only placed on first round.

This repeats until a 52 card deck is done.

Each round, I would have to memorize 16 new cards in no particular order (except for the first round, when there are 20 new cards). I find it difficult to construct a mind palace of cards played because of the speed (Not crazy fast, but still a challenge) the game is supposed to be played at, combing with the multitasking of having to think of my own plays. This is my current memory skill level with the cards:

• I have assigned each emblem (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades) a specific category and each card of each emblem a specific mental image.
• I can memorize the order of a deck using a mind palace in less than 30 minutes (Ik not that impressive).
• Also can retain the mind palace of the deck easily.

Any tips how to memorize something once and have it remain in memory for a long time unchange?

I'm looking for an app that you can give a long text, and it will then read you X seconds of the text using text-to-speech tts, and then wait for you to read it back using speech recognition, then go on to the next X seconds, etc.

For help with learning to recite poetry, say prayers, etc.

If I tricked someone into thinking they have a photographic memory and they greatly believed me.
Could they achieve a photographic memory?
