Abstract
A contest method and process are devised in which the memory faculties of the contestants are exercised by viewing a set of randomly selected symbol groupings for a first interval of time and thereafter the specific symbols and their groupings are recollected in a second interval of time. The symbol groupings may be inscribed on one of the faces of a set of flash cards which are then shuffled, dealt to each of the contestants and concealed. Then the dealt cards are revealed for the first time interval and following a delay or immediately thereafter the contestants are directed to list correctly the symbols and their groupings during the second time interval. The number of symbols groupings correctly recalled comprises the score.

- shuffling said flash cards while aligned in an orientation to conceal said one surface thereof from view;
- dealing a first group of said flash cards into a first concealment tray designated for a first one of said persons and a second group of said flash cards into a second concealment tray designated for a second one of said persons;
- exposing said flash cards dealt into said first and second concealment tray to the corresponding ones of said first and second persons for a first interval of time;
- concealing said exposed flash cards;
- and
- directing said first and second persons to identify within a second interval of time each said symbol combination exposed in the corresponding one of said trays during said first interval of time.

- shuffling said flash cards while aligned in an orientation concealing said one surface thereof from view;
- placing a first group of said flash cards into a first concealment tray designated for a first one of said persons and a second group of said flash cards into a second concealment tray designated for a second one of said persons;
- exposing said flash cards placed into said first and second concealment tray to the corresponding ones of said first and second persons for a first interval of time;
- concealing said exposed flash cards for a second interval of time;
- and
