20 year old level 11 here :)

- hn_go_brrrrr 4y ago...what happened here?
- adastra22 4y agoHis input IME output a full-width 5 instead of an ASCII/Latin 5. Different code point.
- orbital-decay 4y agoA nice entry for another "Falsehoods programmers believe about..."
- 4ggr0 4y ago24 year old level 11, seems like level 11 is the sweet-spot for HNers.
- alarmingfox 4y ago24 level 10, missed out on level 11 by 1 number :')
- 4ggr0 4y agoI was honestly surprised that I reached level 11, the last 3 levels felt like I completely forgot the number, but my subconsciousness seemed to remember after all. Missed out by 1 number as well on the last one :')
- Loughla 4y agoLate 30's, level 12. My guess is that level 11 makes sense to most people, because it's the same amount of numbers as a full phone number, so you can get a cadence going. 2-232-340-1010 is pretty easy to remember, because it already exists as a common cadence, even if it's not in the US format like I use.
- 4ggr0 4y ago> so you can get a cadence going. To me it seemed like numbers which could be split into two equal groups were the easiest. 235 431, 4475 3268 etc. I also sang the numbers in my head and tried to memorize by repeating the melody after the numbers disappeared. There is probably a reason why level 11 seems to be so prevalent. Phone numbers could be a factor, but to be honest, I don't know a single phone number by heart, which is probably due to my young age. Never had to memorize a phone number... The best training for me are probably 2FA codes, so up to 6 digits I should have it covered ;) EDIT: I realize that I just called you old. Sorry.
