So there is a human benchmark. I was very surprised to find out I can repeatedly get 50+ points in the Sequence Memory test without a great difficulty - the key is a good memory system. I am using a combination of patterns and 1-9 digits for each tile, whichever is easier to remember. I don´t get this high score in any other game, though. I will see if I can actually adapt 6 these grids as my memory system for blindsolving the 3x3x3 cube because untill now, I wasn´t really using any systematic way to memorize the 3x3x3 cube.

Which game are you best at? What game works best for your memorization of the 3x3x3 cube in blidsolving?

Edit: Oh yeah, and here is the Chimp Test:

I haven’t done these recently, but I was always around average. I don’t use any memory techniques, so it makes sense. Notably, I was below average in visual memory (likely due to my complete lack of visualization ability), and I was exceptional at verbal memory. I’m not certain why.

If I remember I’ll do them all again and see what my score is.
 
All first try with mostly no techniques-

16 digits number memory(98th percentile)
15 point visual memory(90th percentile)
40 point verbal memory(48th percentile, I've tried this before and this was a really bad score)
8 point sequence memory(18th percentile, I could definitely do much better than this)

So yeah my number memory is best(sometimes I associate 3 digits with a cubing time like 553 with Feliks's former WR average), my visual memory is 2nd(this was really good for me though) and my verbal memory is 3rd(probably better than visual if I do more rounds)

Edit- Tried verbal a few more times, got 92 points but lost one life by mistake just by accidentally double clicking

Edit again- Tried sequence one more time, got 15 points

Just got 200+ points three times in a row in the verbal memory test when I was focusing on it. The visual memory test is too quick for me above 10 points, likewise the number memory test above 8 points. In the chimp test I could improve but it would take forever above the 10 points barrier.

I would really like to improve on the number memory test because it seems most related to the cube memorization at this point.

Congrats take your chimp certificate
