Mentally walking through the house fires up the hippocampus, the seahorse-shaped engine of memory deep in the brain that consumed Dr. Maguire\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Vishvaa Rajakumar, a 20-year-old Indian college student, suggests staying hydrated as a way to keep your mind clear.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">via Vishvaa Rajakumar<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">We asked Mr. Rajakumar about his strategies of memorization. His answers, lightly edited and condensed for clarity, are below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q. How do you prepare for the Memory League World Championship?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hydration is very important because it helps your brain. When you memorize things, you usually sub-vocalize, and it helps to have a clear throat. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re reading a book. You\u2019re not reading it out loud, but you are vocalizing within yourself. If you don\u2019t drink a lot of water, your speed will be a bit low. If you drink a lot of water, it will be more and more clear and you can read it faster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q. What does your memory palace look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Let\u2019s say my first location is my room where I sleep. My second location is the kitchen. And the third location is my hall. The fourth location is my veranda. Another location is my bathroom. Let\u2019s say I am memorizing a list of words. Let\u2019s say 10 words. What I do is, I take a pair of words, make a story out of them and place them in a location. And I take the next two words. I make a story out of them. I place them in the second location. The memory palace will help you to remember the sequence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q. How much can these rooms hold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A lot. Let\u2019s say I\u2019m memorizing 100 words. I\u2019m making a story out of every two words. There will be a set of 50 stories. But I cannot remember which one came first or which one came second. So that would be a problem, right? So if I use the memory palace, I can easily remember which came first and which came second. So likewise, I can remember all of the 50 stories easily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q.: Can you describe one of the challenges in the Memory League World Championship?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They give you 80 random numbers that they display on a screen. You have to memorize all of those numbers as fast as possible, then click a button and a recall sheet appears. I wrote down all of the 80 digits \u2014 and I got them all right. My fastest time to memorize 80 random digits in this World Championship was 13.5 seconds, so almost six digits per second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q. Do you realize how amazing this is?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yes, I do. I was crying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Q. What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After my completion of college, like in two to three months, I\u2019ll probably try to be a memory trainer and create a memory institution in India to teach other people these techniques. My goal is to make it big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
