List of People You Know

This is a (very useful) speed exercise for your brain. So be really fast as much as possible. You should accomplish this exercise in 45 minutes (completely concentrated AND with no interruptions).

Take a pen and a few sheets of paper and take a clock to measure time for exactly 45 minutes.

You should write down a list of the full names of everyone that you know (or knew). Just write a person name if you know her or his full name (first name + last name). She or he can be in your family, relatives, old or new friends, colleagues, neighbours, classmates, ..., anybody that you know her or his full name. The condition for each name to be included in your list is:
1. You know her/him in person.
2. You know her/his full name.

Your list should be completed in 45 minutes with your ultimate speed. The longer list the better; use your brain's ultimate power to create a long list that you can.

Ready?

Start!

~ An average person may write down a list of 550 names in this exercise.
