KOCHI: Studying Math is challenging for many and most of them do it just for the sake of scoring marks in exams. However, learning Mathematics and playing with numbers has been a passion for Vivek Raj, an MBA graduate and Mathematics teacher from Alappuzha, since he was seven years old. And this passion for numbers has now enabled him to secure a place in the Guinness World Records.
Vivek was recognised by the Guinness World Records for the record of memorizing the longest number sequence in four seconds. In the blink of an eye, he viewed, memorized and recalled a 28-digit number. It is reportedly the first Guinness record from Kerala in ‘Number Memory Test’. Until now, the longest number sequence memorized in four seconds was a 27-digit number and the Guinness record was held by Morteza Javid Ahmad Abadi of Iran.
