The difficulty level of the "memory" test strikes me as somewhat harder than the others. 250 words is this long - I think that's a more substantial effort than the others, relative to my current "level". (Consider this feedback not critique - this is how it comes across to one particular LWer, not necessarily typical.)
I don't know if it's a typical length, but the song "Still Alive" is 250 words, and it doesn't seem to be considered at all unusual to have a song or two memorised.
Well-crafted prose should be easier to memorize, and poetry even easier than that.
Maybe I'm being influenced by the fact that I had to memorize and chant sections of the Jewish liturgy for my Bar Mitzvah (think ~10 minutes of singing a fairly unmelodic song in a language I don't speak), but 250 words seems like the sort of thing one could do easily in a week, 20 minutes per day. That requires much less effort than the self-control task.
