# Listed are world records which were established with the stated (limited) time for recall!
(For world standard competitions there are longer recall times of 2-3 times as long as the memorizing time.)

Formulas used for evaluating the results (normally multiply the result with the calculation factor!):

* √x x 70 (x is the amount of numbers recalled) e.g. for 100 digits memorized = 700 points

** Points = [1000/(x in sec/30)] * [y/52] (x = memorisation time, y = correctly recalled cards)
x is between > 0 and 300 sec; y is between 0 and 52 cards.
Attention: If y < 52, x is automatically 300
