> The amount of time that has elapsed isn’t the deciding factor, it’s how much practice you fit into that time. If you only practiced for 1 hour a month then in 2 months time you could not even have learned to double-or-nothing properly. For someone with a full time job and family, 2 months worth of practice might mean Matrix and Kwijibo, whereas if you stuck someone in solitary confinement with nothing but a yoyo for 2 months, they’d probably know Jensen Kimmit Sandwich and Soiled Panties. 😛
