On Nov. 13 at the University Center pool, using waterproof playing cards, computer science lecturer Nelson Dellis sank to the bottom of the pool to study a randomized deck of cards. After resurfacing, he placed that deck on the table face down, then arranged a new deck in that same order. Dellis spent weeks leading up to the record attempt training his endurance underwater for the occasion.

Four-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis and psychological scientist Julia Shaw explain how to boost your memory skills. Many people complain about having a terrible memory.

With the right technique, you may well be able to remember almost anything at all.
