      I was also going to comment on his excellent sportsmanship. Really, really admirable. As they both said, good memory is ultimately just a skill. Good character is something more than that.

      Sure, if you want to construct an elaborate min palace every time you want to remember a phone number. If that's what it takes to "have an exceptional memory," I think I'd rather just write things down.

    Mind is truly an exeptional organ. I myself has a poor memory and getting poorer. :-( This somehow inspire me to pratice not for any competition (although I had that in mind) but more for myself. Like yesterday, I just forgot to take 2000 pesos when I withdrew on an ATM. I was not in myself. My goodness. I was so stressed and disappoited and humilliated about myself and of course to my mom cuz its her's. I better practice what I've learned.

    The tricks that memory champions rely on are a bit disappointing. They "have an amazing memory" in the same way that crossfitters "can do 30 pullups." I think a true memory champion would be able to recall things effortlessly, without having to rely on bizarre strategies of constructing elaborate mind palaces every time they want to remember a phone number.
