David Thomas failed all his math ex


David Thomas failed all his math exams and left school with no qualifications, yet this 30-year-old fire-fighter has just gone into the Guinness Book of Records by repeating from memory 22,500 digits of the mathematical constant.

After five months of training, in which he spent ten hours a day memorizing a quarter of million digits, David Thomas took part in a 16-hour mental battle. Witnesses watched in respect as Thomas set a new European record, earning the title 'Most Powerful Memory in The Western Hemisphere'.

David says, 'My education was very limited. My father left home when I was six years old, and my mother and stepfather don't open my eyes much. When I was at school I was hopeless. I couldn't remember anything, but now I can remember more facts than anyone in Europe. I think of myself as a mental athlete. If there were a memory Olympics, I'd have a good chance of a gold medal.

If they are given random numbers to learn, such as telephone numbers, most people can memorize only between seven and ten digits. So how does Thomas was.

'One night I was watching a TV programme and there was an interview with a man called Dominic O'brien, who had been the world memory champion five times. He can remember the answers to all 7,500 Trivial Pursuit questions! He used to be a gambler and developed his own mental memory aid for each card in order to remember which cards had already been dealt and which ones hadn't. Once ha had perfected his system, he began to win serious money.

Thomas became fascinated by O'Brien's theory that anyone can improve their memory by using specialized techniques. These techniques involve linking everyone to familiar people or objects.

'If you want to remember a phone number for example, you have to give the numbers life. Sometimes I associate a number with a person. Number 10 for me is always the Prime Ministry Tony Blair (who lives at number 10 Downing Street) and 50 is my uncle John who died at that age.

Sometimes if I want to remember a number, e.g. 42, I take the fourth and second letter of the alphabet (D and B) and then think of somebody, e.g. David Bowie. Or if I'm trying to memorize a pack of cards, the four of hearts would be DH (Damon Hill the ex-racing driver): D stands for 'four' and H stands for 'hearts'. Once you learned the system you never forget.'

If David is trying to remember facts he also links them to an image. 'For instance, if I was trying to memorize the name 'Tom Cruise', I would think of his film Top Gun, and that leads me to images of guns and cruise missiles. If I was trying to remembera place name, for instance 'Quito', the capital of Ecuador, I might think of a 'key to' open a door.'

You might wonder what the point is of being able to remember 22,500 numbers. But David id soon going to appear on TV's Record Breakers, and this week he is teching memory training and speed-writing at Huddlesfield University. His fees are 600 a day. He is sure that the future holds a lot more for him than a job as a fire-fighter.

'The future is about finding out what our natural capacities are, 'he says. 'there is no limit towhat our minds can do.'

Tradition
We all know when New Year is, right? Well, actually, it depends which calendar you use. Russians are lucky, they celebrate twice.

People counted time in many different ways until the Romans changed everyone to their system of counting time from the date Rome was founded. After Rome conquered Egypt, Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar based on a Babylonian model. It had 365 days divided into 12 months with an extra day every fourth year.
Then, in 527 AD, a Roman abbot, Dionysius Exiguus, brought in the Anno Domini calendar numbering the years from Jesus' birth. However, every 131 years the calendar would be out by one day, since the distance the earth travelled around the sun grew shorter from 365,2422 to 365,2419 days. Over the centuries this became a problem, as Easter was later and later in the year.
Pope Gregory XIII used the calendar of astronomer Christopher Clavius to make reforms. Clavius used mathematics and astronomy to calculate the new calendar. Most countries accepted the calendar straight away, but Britain only adopted the modern calendar, in 1752, and Orthodox Russia was forced to adopt the new changes when the Bolsheviks came to power, in 1917.
In many countries however, including Russia, both the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar are used. So, for the Russians, Christmas is on 7th January with Father Frost and other traditions and New Year is on 1st January, but they celebrate a second New Year on 13th January. The first one is the New New Year and the second one is the Old New Year.
New Year's Day on 1st January in Russia is a public holiday and is celebrated with fireworks and elaborate large meals and other festivities. The Old New Year by the Julian calendar is informally observed. For many this is a nostalgic family holiday ending the holiday season.
The Old New Year tradition also features in popular culture and art. Mikhail Roshchin wrote a comedy drama for the stage, in 1973, called The Old New Year, which played in theatres for many years. It was also a TV film released by Mosfilm studios in 1980 which featured famous actors and music by Sergei Nikitin, with lyrics by Boris Pasternak
