RE: Engagement Contest #1 "Tell me something I don't know"

In 1991, the world record for memorizing a shuffled deck of cards was 2 min 5 seconds. People were saying that memorizing such a deck of 52 cards under 2 minutes was impossible. Today, a few people have done it in competition settings in 16 seconds, and one guy, world champion of memory ALEX Mullen, did it in 12 seconds in training. 12 seconds is 1/10 of 2 minutes (120 seconds). Who wants to try beating that?

Nice little tidbit @simonluisi! If I could memorize the cards that fast, I wouldn't lose at the casino so much. lol
