Comment on Show HN: Memory Chimp – How good is your working memory?

Comments

1910 on the first try. 2614 on the second. Can't get past 2741.

Here is a trick. It is very easy to rememeber up to 6 spots, but over that becomes hard. Split the numbers into groups and remember the patterns for each one and where the transition to the next group happens.

OP and author here. Over time, you'll get better. A lot.

8 spots is okay for me now, used to be next to impossible at first.

Have you found this to increase your working memory in other contexts as well?

Unfortunately, no :-/

dammit human brain too flexible
