  • How badly does being inebriated affect your intuition and memo?

    I don’t think I actually drank any alcohol that time at the pub. My alcohol consumption is pretty low and infrequent, so I don’t have a lot of data on how my memorization performance is affected. I do find that I’m noticeably worse if I haven’t gotten enough sleep though. The few times I’ve consumed enough alcohol to feel the effects, I haven’t noticed a significant effect on my speedsolving times. Perhaps I was just not very drunk. I didn’t measure my blood alcohol levels.

    Do you use the mind palace thingy for memo?

    I’ve heard of the mind palace technique, but I’ve never been able to use it effectively. My current memo strategy is to convert letter pairs into words, and stringing the words into a (vaguely) coherent story. Perhaps I should give the mind palace another try. Any recommendations?
