100th PERCENTILE HUMAN BENCHMARK

Is a terrorists favourite chess move “C4”

C´mon. Hikaru is a genius. Even if he doesn´t want to admit it, he is.

I remembered this in 1 minute

Me on my way to cheat and get more than a GM

I did this in 13 minutes though

The fact that chimps can ez clap Hikaru is just unbelievable.

What the fuck is this

I'm not trying to say that Hikaru or chess GMs don't have outstanding memory or anything, but this really isn't as impressive as a lot in the comments seem to (understandably) think. I spend a lot of time on this website and was originally horrible at the chimp test, but as soon as I tried a strategy like Hikaru did here I got into the mid-20s and then just stopped because it's really not fun at that point and just becomes very hard work. The thing is, when you chunk the squares or convert them to something less abstract than just their visual position, you actually use much less of your memory skills. So, people watching only see 30 squares, but he is employing a strategy that makes it more simple than just remembering 30 things.

I got to 20 thinking I was sick and then i saw this god of a man do 30

Beep boop boop beep

Very awesome how Hikaru can obtain 100th percentile in human benchmark like that is insane dude

game name?

I've always wanted to see Hikaru get into speedcubing because of his fast pattern recognition with puzzles and stuff, and after seeing this, I can imagine him challenging the Multi Blind world record of solving 62 Rubik's cubes blindfolded.

UR CRAZY

the captions are funny lol

hol up

Кто нибудь объясните пожалуйста на русском что тут происходит

I could do 22 in about 5 minutes

Dafuq kinda puzzle is this?

i got 100 on sequence 8) only tried this one from the video once tho its so annoying and time consuming

What is he doing?

And we were looking for aliens in space 😂😂

Guys I think it was a3 to g3

I got 25 on this before

It’s the beads

a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3
a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3
a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3
a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3 a3 to g3 to a3 to g3

I got 99.9 verbal momery

Wtf is he doing?

Jesus Christ is Lord. 🔥✝️🙏

wtf

I'm at 98.69%.... don't even wanna try and beat it. I would spend between 4-7 minutes figuring out a pattern in my head to remember and once I got to 25 I just was mentally tired of trying to think of ways to group the number that I ended up throwing away 2 lives just rushing through my thought process. I couldn't image going past that point.

Man finds out he's the best human.

He doesn't know that his IQ is greater than 180
He thinks it is just 102 👀

I tried this test and there's nothing that actually requires skill, you just take more and more time as you progress through stages but you can't really get it wrong past a stage. I'm not over average yet I was able to go to stage 27 on my first try.

What is this game?

oh my god

But his eyes were closed!

Guys, guys! It's about practicing, not about individual abilities (memory)... There are memorization techniques out there, you know. Hikaru for example used algebraic notation (the way you identify the squares on a chess board) to memorize the sequence, in which he is very experienced. It's all about practice, not talent, like most things in life. Come on you guys.

yeah chess players can remember a whole fuking game, this is easy for them... totally unfair

I have a bad base memory. If you and me talked today for 2 minutes i would not remember your face or name 2 days later. Yet i can memorize over 104 playing cards in any order. There are tricks to memorizing things and everyone can do it with practise. Hikaru is doing his version of a memory palace playing out as a chess game. I bet most people could get into 100th percentile with a llittle practise.

i got 22 and thought im very good at it 🤣

I got 30 with no strikes, took a while though

I wonder how different of a score would be if the tiles were moving around at random directions with the only distinction being the color of the tiles.

Well done, but this is actually very easy if you know the right memory techniques

Real life rainman

I got 21 and thought it was damn impressive... turns out this man is 5 parallel universes ahead of me

No wonder he is a world champ in bullet chess

he dont JK off

I cant even do 3 ;-;;;;

somebody please make this sound a good rap song
