That's very impressive to do by hand, 10 Kg or so back into sets takes a week by hand, how much time did this take you?

Sorting into sets would be a lot harder. Just grouping by similar pieces is a fairly fast, automatic process. I could just sort of zone out and run on pleasant zen autopilot. I didn't need to keep running counts, etc.

I found that by looking for pieces with certain shapes, my brain/eyes would lock in after a little while and it got really easy to spot them as I sifted through the pile.

  • What I find is that if I look at them myself I tend to match shape and color, then I have to really force myself to look for the same shape in a different color. Very strange how automatic this is. It's like some subroutine taking over.
