WANA (Sep 22) – Mohammad Reza Hassanzadeh, a young memory champion from Tabriz, has set a new Guinness World Record for the “Longest Number Recall” by memorizing 33 digits in just four seconds. A Guinness World Records office representative in Iran validated this remarkable achievement.

 

Hassanzadeh, who has previously secured multiple records, shared that the official certificate for this latest accomplishment will be sent from Guinness in three months. He has also set records for memorizing 128 numbers in one minute and 57 English words in the same timeframe. Looking ahead, he plans to pursue a new record involving memorising names and binary numbers.

 

Reflecting on his journey, Hassanzadeh noted, “My previous record was memorizing 128 numbers in one minute, which I have now improved to 33 numbers in just four seconds.” He expressed his passion for pushing personal boundaries, stating, “I enjoy challenging myself,” and credited his family for their unwavering support, saying, “For anyone who succeeds, family is undoubtedly a crucial source of support.”

 

Ashkan Doshmanziyari, the consultant for Iranian Guinness Records, stated, “I travel across Iran to assess various records for submission to Guinness, but one of the most challenging and unbelievable records is the one being set today by a talented individual from Tabriz.” He noted that the previous Guinness record for memorizing 30 digits in four seconds has now been surpassed by the new record of 33 digits.

 

Hassanzadeh, the acclaimed memory champion, aims to enhance students’ memory and reduce distractions. He said that he is ready to conduct free memory improvement classes for underprivileged students, pending venue allocation by any organization.

 

He stressed that geniuses are made through education, sharing his journey from facing expulsion in high school due to lack of focus to setting world records today.
