Memory Championship

This past chapter was all about memory. On one page it had some of the world records of memorizing things. I thought the chart was really interesting and wondered if these people were really smart that could remember this much. I actually found out by watching the attached video that they don't have to be. The guy in this video won the Memory Championship. He was just an average student, but you have to spend a lot of time training your brain and practicing.
