Memory

Memory (also known as Remembrance, Bislama Memory, Concentration, and Brain Food) is a recurring memory challenge that originated in , and has since reappeared in , , , and .
==Rules==
Scattered in a challenge arena are numerous pairs of matching objects or symbols hidden under covers. One at a time, contestants will enter the field and uncover two items. If they match, they (or their tribe) score a point. If the items do not match, they are re-covered and the next contestant takes their turn. The first tribe/contestant to score a designated number of points, or the tribe/contestant with the most points when all covers have been unveiled wins the challenge.
Additional rules have appeared season to season, such as the inclusion of items that do not have a matching pair. In , tribes could choose to forfeit a point in exchange for adding the uncovered item into a reward pool for the winning tribe.
