Memorise binary numbers - binary code
Was ist der Binärcode? Das kennen wir vom Computer – der funktioniert ja mit Nullen und Einsen. Nehmen wir die verschiedenen Größen von Speicherkarten. Es gibt zum Beispiel 4, 8, 16, 32 oder 64 GB Karten. Nie eine 20 GB oder 25 GB. Das liegt daran, dass sich der Wert immer verdoppelt.
1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024 etc.
Try to memorise this series of binary numbers:
101110111010001000111001011100000110110100001011001110010110010000111010
You will not yet be able to do it. But do not worry, in a few minutes you will also achieve this goal.
Binary numbers are red from the right to the left. For our brain, it is very difficult to save the abstract information. Our brain is usually seeking a pattern or a logic behind the ones and zeros. But given that there is no logic, our brain abandons after a few digits. How is it possible to memorise plenty of binary numbers?
All the information we want to memorise must be transformed into pictures. First of all, we split the zeros and ones into two-digit numbers. Then we make use of our Major system and transform the numbers into pictures.
The first digit has the value 4, the second the value 2, and the third the value 1
| Binary digit | Calculation | Decimal number |
|---|---|---|
| 000 | 0 + 0 + 0 | 0 |
| 001 | 0 + 0 + 1 | 1 |
| 010 | 0 + 2 + 0 | 2 |
| 011 | 0 + 2 + 1 | 3 |
| 100 | 4 + 0 + 0 | 4 |
| 101 | 4 + 0 + 1 | 5 |
| 110 | 4 + 2 + 0 | 6 |
| 111 | 4 + 2 + 1 | 7 |
We split the binary numbers in blocks of three, because we always come to a number between 0 and 7. Then we combine two blocks of three and get a two-digit decimal number. There are only 64 possibilities. We need our pictures from 0-7, 10-17, 20-27, 30-37, 40-47, 50-57, 60-67 and 70-77. We can not bundle the binary numbers in blocks of four, because we could get numbers beyond 100. The highest four-digit binary number would be 1111, meaning 8+4+2+1 = 15. This would be too much for our "Major system".
Back to our example
101.110-111.010-001.000-111.001-011.100-000.110-110.100-001.011-001.110-010.110-010.000-111.010
| First three group bloc | Decimal | Second three group bloc | Decimal | Combined | Master picture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | 5 | 110 | 6 | 56 | Hole |
| 111 | 7 | 010 | 2 | 72 | Pot |
| 001 | 1 | 000 | 0 | 10 | Cup |
| 100 | 7 | 001 | 1 | 71 | Chain |
| 011 | 3 | 100 | 4 | 34 | Bucket |
| 000 | 0 | 110 | 6 | 06 | Sushi |
| 110 | 6 | 100 | 4 | 64 | Scissors |
| 001 | 1 | 011 | 3 | 13 | Team |
| 001 | 1 | 110 | 6 | 16 | Bag |
| 010 | 2 | 110 | 6 | 26 | Nacho |
| 001 | 1 | 110 | 6 | 16 | Bag |
| 010 | 2 | 000 | 0 | 20 | Nose |
| 111 | 7 | 010 | 2 | 72 | Pot |
To then have to remember the correct sequence of images, use the journey method and each associated with a picture of binaryrow one journey point.
Let's take our Body journey. The first point refers to feet. So you have to associate feet with hole. The sock on my foot has a hole. It's pretty cold since our toe is already sticking out. The second point is the shinbone. So you have to associate shinbone with pot. We strike the old watering pot with our shinbone. The third point is the knee. So you have to associate knee with cup. We try to balance a cup of tea on our knee.In this way, you go through the body journey point by point and associate the journey points with the major images. When recalling the information, it goes the other way round. You convert the hole into 5 6 and then 101 110. This sounds quite difficult at first glance, but with a little practice it will be very easy.
How to train the memory for numbers: Binary Digits
Hier geht es darum, sich so viele Binärzahlen, also 0 und 1, wie möglich einzuprägen. Bei der ersten Disziplin gibt es 5 Minuten als Zeitvorgabe und eine Wiedergabezeit von 15 Minuten. Um die Sache für den Anfang zu erleichtern, gibt es je nach Trainingsstand verschiedene Level. Es geht los mit 30 Ziffern und steigert sich dann auf 60, 90 usw.. Eine genaue Einteilung findest du weiter unten.
The evaluation is based on competition rules: if you make an error within one row (or if you omit a row), you will only get half of the points for this row. Example: If you have to recall 30 digits and 29 digits are correct, you will get 15 master points.
If there are 2 or more wrong digits in a row, you will unfortunately get no championship points at all.
For the advanced levels or those who participate in the championships, there is also the discipline binary digits - 30 minutes. This discipline is part of the German Memory Championship and the World Memory Championship.
