Jennifer got back from the World Memory Championships last week, and once again the feats of the master memorists were truly astounding. But memory isn't just about memorising packs of cards, long lists of numbers and words, or even remembering hundreds of names and faces.
Ever wondered what it is like to compete in a test of remember names and faces?
I thought I would share the Memorisation, Recall and marking sheets (see below) for the recent Indian Memory Championships so you can see what it contains as well as for people practicing and getting ready for next month's World memory Championships in Guangzhou.
A big thanks to Phil Chambers for all his work in putting the competition papers together every year.
