David Copperfield opened my mind

David Copperfield hosted a video for National Geographic called Brain Games.  One of the exercises was to simultaneously count what yiou head while counting what you saw.

I was able to get close to the real two values.

WHat I find interesting is that in order to COUNT the auditory, I translated it to text, and then scanned the text.   ThaT IS HOW i REMEMBERED THE AUDITORY, WHICH i counted AFTER counting the visual in real time.   I would stop visual monitoring and scan the auditory text.  No wonder it was hard
