Has anybody memorized all world subdivisions using Anki?
I’ve seen videos of people naming the subdivisions of all countries, which is incredible.
They usually prove it by taking a test on JetPunk, but I assume they first memorized each subdivision at an atomic level.
For example, I memorized all 196 countries thanks to Anki, and sometimes I do free recall of all the countries from memory during my free recall sessions or on JetPunk. During those free recall sessions, I use the principle behind the method of loci: having a fixed mental route for recalling a list. I use the same mental route through the continents. Obviously, in the Americas, I start with Canada, the United States, Mexico, and then continue downward, so I have my own internal route. Over time, I became capable of starting wherever I want, but that is how you begin.
But I know for a fact that I would never have memorized them using whatever methods people use without Anki.
So my question is: has anybody achieved this with Anki?
