Speed Cards: 5 minutes to memorize a freshly shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. For those Mental Athletes who expect to memorize the complete pack in less than 5 minutes, a judge is nearby with a stopwatch to record the precise moment memorization stopped. The recall will take place once the entire 5 minute memorization period is complete.
Once the memorization period is over, the Mental Athletes will have 5 minutes for recall.
Every minute, on the minute, for 20 minutes:
10 burpees.
Then:
Repeat Speed Cards, above.
