Three ways to drill

Flash card drill

You’re given a value — say, the Kings. Recall the first suit in the stack and the three distances between the cards, then get instant, detailed feedback.

Position quiz

Given a value, enter all four absolute stack positions in any order. A step up from distance drilling — you know the stack cold when raw numbers come fast.

Reference table

The complete quartet distance table for all 13 values — first suit and the three jumps. Study it, verify answers, or use it as a lookup while learning.

About quartet distances

In the Mnemonica stack by Juan Tamariz, the four cards of each value are scattered through the deck — but not randomly. For each value there’s a first suit and three consistent jumps to the next. These are the quartet distances.

Knowing them lets you locate any card in a quartet quickly: find the first, and you can calculate the rest. It’s the kind of knowledge that separates fast, fluid performers from those still counting.

QuartetTrainer assumes you already know the stack. It’s a drilling tool — not a substitute for learning Mnemonica itself. If you’re still working on it, start with Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz, then come back.
