I know which weekday will fall into any day of the month you ask me about.
Mental Calcalus isn't exactly Mnemonics.

I know dates of birthday of everyone close to me.

I easily memorize and don't forget anymore any number, from 1 digit numbers to 100 digit numbers or more, by seeing it just once for a certain amount of time, depending on the size of the number

I dont have to make shopping lists, i can just memorize it, even if they contain like 50+ itens

I memorize any kind of list with numbers, names, of whatever.



Ok not that i want to brag myself or anything im just showing you what "a bunch of techniques" can do to enhance many activities on my day to day life. You cant deny that i can use those skills in "a real life on a daily basis"[/QUOTE] I don't deny that their are people who build a memory that can be used on a daily basis that way.
But it takes a lot of time. You said it yourself, the amount of time that approach takes is a huge problem.

Ruslan claims to have revolutionised mnemonics by solving that problem and developed addtitional techniques that work together to build a memory that works like a database.

I don't think that you can judge whether he has archieved this by looking at your own struggle to learn mnemonics that took quite some time.
