"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - the White Queen
Can you do six Mental Moves before breakfast?
I hope you've enjoyed this trip down the Data Rabbithole!
The Moves and DSRP-483 get easier with practice. Next time you're waiting in a line, look around and apply these to something in your surroundings. The practice is meant to be used out in the world, not just in your armchair or in the workplace.
