Indian student wins memory championship, recalls 80 digits in 13.50 seconds

A 20-year-old Indian student has made headlines by winning the Memory League World Championship, an intense online competition where participants compete in rapid memorisation challenges.

Vishvaa Rajakumar, a student at Manakula Vinayagar Institute of Technology in Puducherry, stunned competitors by memorising 80 random digits in just 13.50 seconds. This is an incredible speed of nearly six digits per second.

Memory League World Championship tests participants in various recall tasks, including numbers, words, and images. One of the toughest challenges involves memorising and



recalling 80 random numbers displayed on a screen as quickly as possible.

After memorisation, contestants must enter their answers on a recall sheet with 100% accuracy. Rajakumar not only completed this challenge at record speed but also performed exceptionally in other rounds, including memorising 30 images in just 8.40 seconds.

According to the Memory League website, he is currently ranked No. 1 with a score of 5,000. His LinkedIn profile also highlights multiple achievements in national and international memory competitions, making him one of India's most promising mental athletes.
