Nishant Kasibhatla: Now, one of my records is I memorized a number consisting of 1944 digits. It looks something like that. I memorized a deck of playing cards in less than two minutes. I also memorized a deck of seven decks of playing cards in 60 minutes. So for those of you who are thinking of taking me to the casino, I'm available or you can talk about the negotiation later on.
