Shijir-Erdene Bat-Enkh
Mongolia
An extraordinary record set by Mongolia's Sijir-Erdene Bat-Enkh at the 2024 World Memory Championships. In just five minutes, he perfectly memorized the order of 48.7 decks (2,530 cards). With 52 cards per deck, that amounts to roughly 8.4 cards memorized per second. Memory athletes achieve this through the PAO (Person-Action-Object) system, which links each card to a person, an action, and an object to process vast quantities of information.
