I had spent some time preparing for the recital but unfortunately, my brain only retained 30 digits from last year which means that I’ve got to squeeze 170 digits into my mind to be able to reach my goal. It was difficult, I’ve got to admit that. But after six days of hardcore memorising, with the help of my friends for revising, I was able to do it.
Overall, even though I probably will never be able to recite all the way to 1000 places (which is such an impressive amount, good job Chris!), I was really happy that I was able to recite all 200 places and beat my record from last year.
