I've just noticed that I'm prejudiced against American sudoku-solvers. I noticed that while I was writing about the national sudoku championship, I was automatically assuming that American sudoku competitions would be really easy to win for someone from this country, because we do much more complicated and difficult sudokus than them as a matter of course.
This prejudice is based on crosswords, I think - I have absolutely no idea how difficult the average sudoku puzzle is in the USA and no reason at all to assume that it's easier than the ones in newspapers over here. So I apologise to any American sudoku-solving mind-readers who were offended by what I was subconsciously thinking. I'm really sorry about that.
Ben, there is an old proverb: "Modesty adorns a man". So don't worry if you are a modest person, even if it's non-English =)
ReplyDeleteHi! Ben, I was amazed to see your blog. I am talking to a world memory champion, wow!
ReplyDeleteBen I first saw you on memory consulting website explaining a deck of cards. I was wondering how you have taken two cards together. Ben system is awesome.. but little difficult.
I have Ben system chart print in my home. Only I am finding it typical to associate three images together to make an interesting story. PVO system is good but limited to pegs.
Say I selected my images as glass, table, car and table, glass, car and car, glass, table. So I have to imagine them in top to bottom order every time ?
Bye Ben,
Dellas
It's funny the way information gets processed sometimes...

The UK has a winner at something and the media really should emphasise it!
Heh, nice link, Mike! I think the Asian News got all of its information from listening to Ameel's interview on the local radio recently, but it's nice to know that I get a mention at least...
