Telephone

So in Psychology class, we learned about this little tidbit about memory. It's called the forgetting curve, introduced by Ebbing Haus. It states that 80% of anything learned is forgotten after 1 day. After a week, 90% of it is forgotten. Crazy? I don't think so.
After learning about this little theory, our class decided to test it. We played the classic game of telephone.
We started out with 5 people outside the classroom and our teacher reading out this line to a person who was supposed to memorize it:

"All special forces recruits must be proficient with a rifle before they're assigned."

One right after the other, the 5 people outside came back in, each attempting to tell the person behind them what they had heard.

It ended up with "Uhm, something, something, and a gun."
After, our class had a couple laughs and our lesson kept going. Makes you realize things doesn't it?
Something like... Oh,
I should probably start going through those flashcards again shouldn't I...
