A bit of everything

I’m just starting out today with mental math. And it’s all by accident.

I started a journey sometime back in memorization. And I’m a writer. after some moderate success with a how-to memory book, I started a new series on mind magic.

First is how to memorize a deck of 52  cards. The second is nearly finished on the Doomsday algorithm (how to mentally calculate the day of the week for any date.)

I needed one more mind trick for the last book. Still do, in fact. While searching I came across a post on a memory forum about mental mathematic methods.

And there goes my week. 🙂

I’ve picked up the Mental Math book by Abhishek VR. His and others, though this is the one I’m going through. I’m as far as DS and DD verification.

It’s doubtful I’ll use any of it for the next book. But this is what I do. I acquire skills. Looking forward to adding more.
