BALI BOY`S MEMORY FEAT ENTERS GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
Gianyar, Indonesia, Aug 15 (ANTARA) - Dominic Brain, a 12-year-old boy from Kuta in Badung district, has had his name entered into the Guinness Book of World Records after proving his ability to recollect a 76-digit figure in only 60 minutes.
The son of Gidion Hindartho showed his extraordinary ability in a record-breaking test organized by Guinness World Records Asia at the Bali Zoo Park in Gianyar on Saturday.
Alex Iskandar Liew, a representative of Guiness World Records Asia, said on the occasion , Dominic's feat was particularly unique because of his young age.
"Remembering that many digits in a row in such a short time is not an easy thing to do, and for a boy of his age to be able to accomplish it, that is exceptionally extraordinary," Liew said.
In the days ahead, he said, there would no doubt be other people who would try to equal or break Dominic's record "but they will definitely have to go through a long learning proecess first."
Meanhile, Dominic's father, Gidion Hindartho, said, before taking the test, his son had indeed been training the capacity of his memory but without setting a certain achievement target.
He said he had coached Dominic in training his brain by a method which everybody could learn. "School children in second or third grade can actually easily remember figures of up to 100 digits if they are trained by the right method," he said.
Dominic himself said he had trained his memory over the past two months, three times daily.
He said he would continue training to be able to remember up to 104 digits or face challengers who were expected to emerge soon.
Previously, Dominic broke an Indonesian Museum of Records (Muri) record by recollecting 52 playing cards in 100 seconds and 100 figures in 12 minutes.***
