Can anyone else say the alphabet backwards? -
April 15th 2010, 12:19 PM
I was reading Derren Brown's book (Tricks of the mind) last night and figured a way to remember it using the linking system. I used words that start with the letters (like Zebra for Z, yard for Y... so it was a Zebra in a back yard)
I can now resight the alphabet backwards  I only done it to show off  This is how bored I'm getting btw  I need a job.

I can (eventually). But it takes me a while. A long while, actually.
It helps to have it on paper in front of you  But that's cheating, I guess heh.

I can do it easy! And I don't need to use your little trick. I taught myself when I was in my GCSE mock exams, I would write it out backwards, and say it under my breath over and over. And now I can just recite it by heart.
The way I do it is, like when you say it forwards, you say a little tune with it. And I've done the same thing when I say it back wards. It's not too difficult

I think this is also a sobriety test that cops use.
..Let's just say I hope they never do it to me. |

Hmm I can say a section of it to a tune but then I have to stop and think before doing the next section.
I find saying it in the tune backwards doesn't flow as well as it does forwards.  |

I have no problem with doing this..?? I don't want to seem as if I'm showing off about it but I don't really see why people think it's hard...you just..start with Z and keep going...?? i don't know...I've never had a problem with it...
 even when I'm completely drunk...

I imagine my old flip phone, and go with the letters backwards. Works

Easily. I might be crazy. But have I told you lately that I love you? You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly. <3 |

We had to memorize it backwards in like. 5th grade music class as a singing warm-up... so, I think so.
zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba As for the sobriety test part, it's actually used to see if you're drunk more than sober. As in a lot of sober people would normally be like "are you kidding me, I can't do that" where as a drunk person would go "Z...-abcd...- Y... -abcdef- X..." And so on.  Take me seriously. I dare you. |

Very easily. It took me a little practice, but now I can do it backwards just as easily as forward.
