I went to college with Chester. He was a Mathematics major with me. He taught ten of us in a room Real Analysis when our professor could not. Brilliant communicator of knowledge.
This is a great presentation. Shows the detail of how to use the method of Loci vividly. Thanks! I've learned something that I could use to improve my memory!
WOW !!! AMAZING !!!! I always was curios for the concept of "Mind Palace". I was also impressed how quickly he solved the Cube twice! Man I really loved this talk of Chester Lian. Need to google him :). Thanks so much for sharing this!! Totally worth watching! Recommend it to everyone!
My problem with Memory Palaces -- and I've tried them before, as well as memory pegs (same basic idea) -- is that they work great for the first couple of lists of items, but once I've memorized three lists now there's three items attached to each loci (or peg)! There's no way to tell them apart, or which is from which list. They don't go away, they stay there, and any additional lists just add to the confusion. It quickly becomes an unsolvable mess. I can create more memory palaces using other loci, but that likewise grows into an elaborate memory problem of its own. Anyone have a solution?
Usually you only use stuff like that for only a short period of time, and when you MUST remember something else, you pick a different location. Usually, you empty the first list in your first location to replace it with something new because you don't need what was there anymore.
Sure, but how do you "empty" the first list? In my experience, once the items are pinned to the locations they just stay there. I know of no way to get rid of them. So that particular memory palace becomes useless very quickly. Which means you'd have to have hundreds or thousands of new memory palaces ready and waiting in the wings -- which is a memory challenge of its own!
Tried it. Doesn't work for me. Once an item is there it's locked to the loci or memory peg. Recall the loci or peg and anything attached to it no matter how old pops up.
There's a mechanical brain-dead way of solving the cube using a fixed set of steps and it never fails. I used to do that as a party trick and it's dead easy to memorise the steps. That's what he's doing, except his start position must be memorised. And that's his real skill.
These talks are a waste of time. It's not that hard to resolve the cube once you learned. He wasted 9 years of his life to resolve it in 20 seconds and become popular? Nobody can use his technique of letters and numbers and how long does it take to figure out the cow , pooh, etc. Don't like it. Not impressed. Showing off.

The old woman in the bottom right at 10:10 thats me in every lecture

He's got a pleasant manner and excellent communication skills.

I believe that you can get whatever you want if you have two things: (believing in yourself and trying skillfully to get your goal).
a former-and quite gifted-student of mine. not just good at math and parlor tricks, but at philosophy. fortunately, he has used his powers for good.
AMAZING !!
amazing. i can solve 2by2 to 6by6. i'm now learning blindfold 3by3.
Holy Cow! Chester is amazing lol
I m speechless
best video on utube..amazing
Interesting method of memory. He should do another talk sharing the coding scheme of the cube.
Most people use Speffz, or a similar method, assigning letters to the stickers in an alphabetical order.

Great - thanks
Antoine Cantin Numbers in speffz?
Joshua Bloch Using numbers is very unorthodox. Most people use letters for the corners, too.
Awesome..
Great job!!! Now, I don't feel so bad about my working memory :)
it look so easy when you put it like that i hope this technic do elp me in my exam tomorrow
this is really gonna help me in remembering chemical equations and such stuff related to science.
Thanks, Chester Lian.
lool she doesn't know who eminem is so frickin innocent
awesome
This is my college math instructor.
Thank you. I can grasp your concept because you taught in concrete way the kind of style I learn best.
he's doing something called algorithms
Carla Hau how so?
Magician..
Yas
How did he memorize the Numbers?
each digit = corresponding letter in the alphabet
Marius Ihlar gw oi
He is so adorable...just saying 🤔
Great
I thought loci was pronounced "Loki" this whole time. Oops.
It is, if you’re speaking Classical Latin.
Wow

+IRoboSapien just don't think about them. In their place, put your new items. That's it.

+IRoboSapien OK sorry man idk how to help. That's all I know. You attach your items VERY strongly for them to be just for short term use!
10:11 that lady in the blue dress is about to eat the korean O.O
who here is a cuber
🎷👌👌👌
2 no 2 lovely doing Rubik cubes
her laugh.
gaie
Some scientific witchcraft
LMAO @ 10:12
Funny man
It's because there's no parity

I don't study with focus ,so how can I study with focus
