Sorry for the typo, I meant BLD solve.
quote: "They memorize numbers much the same way. Cooke converts
every two-
digit number from 00 to 99 into a familiar object or person, so that
every six digits form a sentence. When he sees 342102, Cooke
imagines Frank Sinatra crooning the Britney Spears' song "
Baby
One More Time" to an obelisk. When he's doing well, this translation
is happening instantaneously. At his best, he can store about 300
digits, or 50 sentences, in his head in five minutes."
That's cool...! Yeah converting the cube into pieces of information
in my head and backwards isn't going very fast... I hope I can also
do that instantaneously once :).
