First thing I thought was that Debbie was going to win per the vote Debbie out edit and that the fact that she couldn't add 20 from 40 at the auction.
Burnett likes to do shit like that. |

If Bubbles had won, Jeff would have said it was merely unexpected but nothing to write home about.

The challenge was pretty lame. All I would have done was just remember the first letter of each symbol, P for Plus, etc, and do that. What Stephen did was far
too complicated, but props to him for it.

I was thinking the same thing -- a ten word mnemonic device. I was amazed that Stephen was the only one to try something like that, and that he overthought it.
It worked, though. The human brain can't remember more than seven numbers, thus phone numbers being seven digits? Huh? I don't have trouble remembering phone numbers with an added extension number. Or area codes for that matter. |

usually phone numbers are remembered in sections and thus its easier to remember more numbers since the groups become one thing the brain can remember. if i
remember correctly the normal range is 5-9, seven oubviously being the average and most likely where stephen got it from.
but its not as if theres actually a limit, otherwise there wouldnt be people out there who can memorize thousands of digits of pi. and as a stephen fan since the beginning this is simply proof of his awesomeness. |

Now all he has to do is unscramble COEKVOH and he's obviously the smartest person in the world!1!

Given that he was so far behind at the beginning it made sense for him to spend a little extra time memorising the symbols then having to risk doing the
balance beam again. He played to his strengths.

Did you even hear Stephen's explanation? He was so full of himself for complicating such an easy task.

well, if you don't believe it, It's hard to try to remember things when you're running back and forth and your adrenaline rushed so quick.
If you don't believe, try memorize a sequence of numbers and then run an obstacle course, you won't hardly remember the last digit. |

It wasn't a sequence of numbers. It was a sequence of symbols. Which I would have assigned letters. Creating a pattern that I would remember through a tune
or a sentence. That I would repeat to myself through a ridiculously easy obstacle course.

Yeah right, easy to say.
First you're not in a competition so you're not in a hurry, afraid to lose to a person you don't want to win. Second, you haven't even try it. I tried it with my class once. People are afraid they're losing, so they're not taking their time to properly memorize them. Let alone change it into tunes. I mean I gave Stephen credit not to let his adrenaline took over. He took his time and slowly memorize them. |

Are you married to Stephen, hag? Christ, calm down. No one here has done this challenge, I think we can go with that.

Um, if I was afraid of losing, I would stay calm and take my time to make sure I got it right. And it is easy to say because it was my first reaction upon
hearing the directions.

I'm only explaining that the challenge might not as easy as it looks due to the adrenaline rush. Who's defending Stephen. Learn to read, why don't you? I know no one has ever done the challenge, who said anybody have done it? I sure didn't say that. |
