[@hantakage9381]

Ludwig didn't realize that "guessing the flag" was obviously favouring Levy. Chess is a very international game, and games always feature the flags of the countries. You memorize them.

[@DearMan-we2md]

He underestimated him severly

[@Froahk]

yeah and pretty much every other game was favouring Ludwig because he has played a lot of them before and obviously knows a lot more about them yet he still insists the games are neutral

Omg why is this so true is storytelling about college things are on another level

[@yesnt7356]

That’s why you watch the yard

[@rionoko]

This is the story of many peoples time in college. College gives you a desire to succeed, and teaches you the skills you need to do so. It isnt a big leap to start doing stuff on the side to practice with. My time in college had me making money hand over fist for minimal effort. One example, I was around a lot of mj at the time, I'd be selling under the table to sketchy dispensaries, and they'd give me top shelf as an aside, which I'd then go sell to "girlfriends" for more than the dispo would sell it for, they'd want company so theyd share the same stuff i sold them, and then want to smash. I bought a car with "I'm gonna give you x ounces over y period of time, worth 3x the value of the car at your dispo's prices" but I'd be getting pounds for almost nothing, cause i was just selling for a farm that couldn't hold a client, and so i was giving them more money than they'd be making doing it legally. All because, in college i stuck around for ten minutes after class and it snowballed. College also makes you go out, makes you stand by what you say, makes you put a value to your time, makes you network, and makes you know when to say no and walk away. You don't need college for these skills but college forces it into you without it being conscious effort.

[@mildchaos6037]

Levy answering 90 math questions in 3 minutes with that accuracy is actually impressive lol

[@intotheunknown21]

I've read somewhere a while back that there's actually a correlation between calculating chess positions and mental arithmetic. Apparently, calculating chess positions make you improve on mental math as well since you're juggling things in your head more often.

[@Flummon]

They way Levi guessed those words on the 2nd try was insane

[@None-lx8kj]

Levy can play multiple games of blindfold chess simultaneously. There's nothing anyone can say to convince me the dude isn't uber-smart.
