The sheet of questions of relative category will
be put on on the table in front of every participant
as closed. All tasks are the same for all participants.
The questions will be opened when the chief referee
signals and the competition time will start up. After
the starting signal, each participant has to turn around
the sheet of paper or papers and tries to do expected
task or tasks in the given time. Opening the questions
before starting signal will cause the participant to
be disqualified.
The completion of the competition time will again
be declared by the chief referee of the competition
by signaling and with this signal all competitors will
put their question or answer sheets down as closed and
will wait quietly until their sheets being collected.
Unreadable solutions or answers will be rated wrong
in case of doubts!
All tasks (mental calculation and recall tasks) must
be done mentally, aids and written calculations (or
written intermediate results in mental calculations)
are not permitted! Using mobile phones, recording devices,
calculators, namely any devices will not be permitted.
If a solution has to be corrected, this should happen
in an unmistakable way on the sheet. The possibility
of correction may not be misused to write down intermediate
results. In mental calculation categories, the competitor
will use the pen or pencil for only writing the results.
The correctness of the answers will be more important
than the speed or time used. The priority will be the
correctness of the answer (e.g. if ten tasks are to
be solved, then eight correct solutions in ten minutes
will in any case be better ranked than seven correct
solutions in two minutes). However, in case of equal
number of the answers the speed or the time used will
be considered.
Provided that it will be informed beforehand, for
physically handicapped participants, who are unable
to read the tasks or write down the solutions, the jury
may set special rules and make necessary arrangements.
All competitors are expected to be silent during
the competition. Competitors who disturb others will
be disqualified. For example; a competitor whose mobile
phone is ringing at the moment of competition will be
disqualified immediately.

the competitor will put his pencil or pen down
immediately. After the completion announcement,
the competitor who writes anything in the answer
sheet will be disqualified.
Later, the chief referee will take each competitor’s
deck of playing cards and answer sheet by attaching
each other and the evaluation will be made.
In this category, a new deck namely a second
trial right will be given to the competitors.

value of ten numbers will be found in mind.
√530179
All numbers will be chosen randomly and each
number will be six-digit (so there will not
be any numbers of which the first digit is zero
in the task of square root).
The solution will be the square root from that
number with an accuracy of eight digits at maximum
with being up to the 5th digit after the comma.
However the 5th digit after the comma will be
rounded off according to the 6th digit after
the comma.
For the example, for√587247
the correct solution is 766.32042906..., the
solution with 8 significant digits will be 766.32043

Participants of Flash Anzan category
will compete and be ranked in two different age group as;
| Flash Anzan Intervals for Answers : |
5 sec. for mental addition of 1 digit problems |
| |
7 sec. for mental addition of 2 digit problems |
| |
9 sec. for mental addition of 3 digit problems |
| |
11 sec. for mental addition of 4 digit problems |
In Flash Anzan category Memoriad
Software will generate 1 to 4 digit numbers (that are consist of 0, 1, 2, 3, ....,
8, 9 numerals) at random and flash them on the screen at a frequency of 1.0 to 0.3
seconds. Competitors are expected to add the flashing numbers at the given frequency
on the screen and write their answers using the computer keyboard. All competitors
will be adding the same problems. After flashing each mental addition question
competitors will enter their answers on the screen at an interval time given above.
If the competitor can not enter his/her answer at the given interval time, the
central server will start showing the next question without waiting for an
additional time. If the answer is not given or left blank, the answer will be
counted as "wrong". Competitors will collect points for only their correct answers.
The rank of competitors will be done according to their total points collected.
There will be two attempts at this
category with different sets of questions each time. From the results obtained from
both attempts, the better score will count.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SPEED READING
(Determining the photographic
reading speed and the rate of understanding
of an unpublished long new text, book or booklet
supplied by the committee of Memoriad organization) |

Time to Read : 5 to 30 Minutes (Depend on Reading
Material)
Time to Answer : 5 to 30 Minutes (Depend on
Question Types)
| As of 2008, Memoriad competitions
will be done under the control of a software
called "MEMORIADTM". This user
friendly software is the exact simulation
of memoriad competitions where papers and
pencils are used (papers and pencils used
competition conditions are explained below).
In order to get used to the computerized
competition conditions, please download
the "Memoriad Competition Software" from
the link given below and exercise with it.

This competition is open to everybody whose
speed of reading is 220 words or over per minute.
An unpublished long new text, book or booklet
not met before anywhere will be given to the
competitors and a time will be kept. The competitor
finishing his or her reading will signal the
referee and put the reading material down as
closed and will wait silently for others’ finishing
their readings.
After reading stage is over, reading materials
will be collected and a test including questions
about the read text will be distributed to the
competitors. "The rates of understanding" will
be determined according to the number of correct
answers. The committee of organization has the
right of asking any type of questions other
than test types.
The competitors whose rate of understanding
is under 60% will be disqualified. In case of
ties in the first three ranks, a second test
including additional questions about the text
will be given to the competitors in equal ranks.
Photographic speed reading points will be calculated
as the multiplication of reading speed value
and the rate of understanding. Let’s say a competitors
raw reading speed is 1400 words per minute and
his or her rate of understanding is % 70, then
the total points count is (1400x0.70=) 980 words
per minute or points.

with other scores, some of the rules and points
are adapted from yearly held mental championships.
