The remaining three
Mental Athletes (MAs) will compete in the final event: 5 minutes to memorize
2 decks of 52 playing cards. All MAs will have identical decks of cards,
previously arranged in the same exact order. The decks of cards will not
be mixed and will have different colored backs to distinguish them. MAs must start memorizing from the first card in the first pack of cards.
Once the memorization period is over, the MAs will have a 2 minute hiatus prior
to beginning recall. MAs will be randomly ordered prior to the beginning
of the recall period. Each MA will be allowed no more than 15 seconds to answer.
After the MA calls the card, the Judge will flip the card in the master deck to
determine if the MA is correct. The first 2 MAs to make a mistake
are
eliminated. The remaining MA is crowned as the USA Memory Champion.
