Bob,

Thanks for posting the link. A lot of fun to watch.

One item caught my attention when he did the 5 digit square at the end. He said he would be using a word phase to help him and did indeed use "cookie fission".

This reminded me of the great book "Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything" by Joshua Foer. This book covers many of the ways to memorize items, such as the sequence of random decks of cards, digits of pi, etc. It's a fantastic book and a great read. The author spent a year training for the USA Memory Championship by researching and learning various memory systems.
