A MEMORY man recited the names of 712 Titanic survivors in a record time of just over 41 minutes.<\/p>\n

It is the latest in a string of feats for recall genius Dean Gould, 56.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The dad of three barely paused as he reeled off the 1912 disaster survivors in 41 minutes, 23 seconds.<\/p>\n

He uses an ancient Greek method called \u201cloci\u201d, involving imagery.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOne of the names on the list was Albert Fryer, so I created a mental image of Albert Einstein holding a frying pan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen there was William Weller, so I pictured my son\u2019s friend William, standing next to the singer, Paul Weller.\u201d <\/p>\n

Dean, of Felixstowe, Suffolk, has broken 54 world records since 1984, including beer mat flipping and speed darts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His previous memory records are reciting \u201cPi\u201d to 1,000 decimal places in eight minutes and writing 979 letters, numbers and symbols from Einstein\u2019s Theory of Relativity in 65 minutes.<\/p>\n

But Dean, who works in double-glazing, said the Titanic feat is his favourite as it is \u201csuch an important part of history\u201d. <\/p>\n

He added: \u201cNot everyone can get very excited about me reciting Pi.\u201d\u200a\u200a\u200a\u200a<\/p>\n
