Don't worry, let's read this book patiently, and you will soon realize that these amazing memory skills can be completely beside you, or even in you!　Now, let's go back to this data set. The rules of most of these competitions are relatively easy to understand, for example, the "10-minute poker memory" is to be able to remember how many cards that have been messed up in order (minus the king and queen) within a 10-minute period of time, the world record for this program is to memorize 220 cards, or 4 decks of cards, in 10 minutes. The world record in this category is 220 cards, or 4 decks of cards, memorized in 10 minutes.　Another example is the "30-minute number memory", which lists more than 1,000 Arabic numerals (3, 5, 0 ......) without any rules, and each person is given 30 minutes to memorize them in order, and then see how many numbers you can remember in order one by one, the world record for this item is how many numbers were remembered in 30 minutes. The world record for this event is 1,040 numbers memorized in 30 minutes.　Some of the relatively difficult to understand events are explained a little bit here. "5-minute 80 sets of virtual historical events": 80 virtual historical events are listed in advance, each consisting of a few short words and corresponding to a year from 1000 to 2099, e.g. "Peace treaty signed: 2077 ". Each participant is given 5 minutes to memorize each event and the corresponding year, with no repetition of the event or the year; after 5 minutes, the corresponding year is removed from each event, and the participant writes out the correct year for each event from memory within 15 minutes. The world record for the program is 80 events with all the years recalled correctly.　"99 Names and Avatars in 15 Minutes": Participants are shown 99 colorful avatars, each of which has a two-word name, and are given 15 minutes to memorize the name of each avatar without repeating the name. 15 minutes later, all the names are removed, and the participant will write down the name of each avatar from memory within 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, all the names will be removed and the contestants will have 30 minutes to memorize the name of each avatar, scoring 2 points for each correct name. The world record for the program was 170 points, or 85 names written correctly. "400 Random Words in 15 Minutes": 400 common words are given at random, each numbered in order, and each participant is given 15 minutes to memorize them and 30 minutes to recall them, with each word having to be mimeographed by its number. The world record for the program is 199 words memorized in 15 minutes.　"15-minute poem memorization": for each competition, a new poem is created that has never been released to the public without rhyme, and each participant is given 15 minutes to memorize it, and then 30 minutes to write down the entire poem word for word, which is based on a scoring system, which is more complicated and will not be described in detail here.　Dear readers, let us once again take a serious look at those records that represent the highest level of human memory, and you will realize how amazing these records are! How can human memory reach such incredible levels!　If you feel that these records are rather abstract, you may wish to put aside the books you are reading and choose a few of these items to try them out for yourselves, to see how far your level is from the world record, so that you can have a more concrete feeling about these abstract figures. For example, in the "5-minute binary number" program, you can write down 100 binary numbers (consisting of 0 and 1) in a row, and then give yourself 5 minutes to memorize them and see how many you can recall. The world record for this program is 780 numbers in 5 minutes, and you can't go wrong if you memorize them backwards or forwards, or randomly check them!　Another example is the "5-Minute Rapid Number Memory" program, where you can write down 100 random numbers (decimal) in a row and then give yourself 5 minutes to memorize them and see how many you can recall. The world record for this program is 333 numbers in 5 minutes, and you can't go wrong if you memorize them backwards or forwards, or if you randomly check them! Another example is the "Memorize a deck of cards" program, you can get a deck of cards, remove the king and queen, shuffle them well, turn them over one by one and memorize them, memorize the order in which they are arranged, and see how long it takes you to memorize the whole deck of cards.
