Can memory tests help self-improvement?

Of course they can!

Just seen this posted by Beerli in Adelaide. It’s the Australian Memory test 

Only this afternoon I was trying to think of that English cricketer who lost an eye in a car accident. Colin “somethingoranother”. It took me a full four hours to remember Colin Milburn who sadly died at the tender age of 48.

Keeping one’s brain active everyday is the way to maintain great memory recall.

    Great reminder to keep the grey matter hopping Jeremy and test after test affirms what you say here. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Why didn’t you Google the question you would have got the answer a lot quicker?

    And, of course, there is always wikipedia…

    Very rarely do I find that one or the other of these sources of information lets me down.

    I once Googled “Who is the most prolific prisoner litigant of modern times?”, and it replied that I am. It confirmed my suspicion.

    It can be frustrating when the mind goes blank.

    I am not a public speaker, I have lawyers who are far more eloquent as mouthpieces. On the odd occasion when I have spoken to an audience, I just go through my life experiences and stick to the truth.

    Isn’t Wikipedia a bit dodgy?

    There are times when some people post inaccurate information on wikipedia, still on balance it tends to be a good source.
