Hi I wouldn't suggest he continue to enter memory contests, at least not for awhile after returning from Everest.

At least that's the lesson that comes from this year's winner of the USA memory championships -- who also won last year. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2119747/USA-memory-champion-Nelson-Dellis-reveals-secret.html?ITO=1490 As the champ says: |'My message is: Everyone can do this,' said Dellis, who |tells people he used to be horrible with names, reports CNN. By the way, the next thing he plans to do is climb Mount Everest. It's amazing what one can do when one applies one's mind to it. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
