Holy crap! Guy finds 13th root of a 200 digit number in less than 9 minutes!

[mercanucaribe]

So is he going to use his enormous mental power being a mathematician?

nothing special here.

so why dont you go beat his time, mr. nothing special? its pretty freaking incredible, and you know it.

My favorite number, and lucky number, is 13.

I don't agree. Its straight memorization.

I can summarize any collction of IP network no matter what the mask in under 2 seconds. Doesn't make me special, just memorized it.

Wow. All hail the synapse reactor.

did you see the answer ? "2391481494636373". (giving 2391481494636373^13 to 'bc' (arbitrary-precision calculator) yields the answer from the article)

nobody can memorize that many 13th roots.

on the other hand, if he knew that the number would be 200 digits beforehand, there are only so many 200-digit numbers that equal n^13...

There are about 1/2 a trillion possible answers. Are you telling me he memorized them all? The possible answers would take a little under 2 petabytes of storage. Then, he would have had to multiply each by itself 13times to get to the answer. I can not even multiply the answer given by 13 without paper. The only way to solve this is by working backwards, not forwards.

darn...my personal best is the 12th root....

 

[Semidevil]

the sqr root of 144 is 12...that is my best.

exactly what i was gonna say.....quoted for truth, thumbs up and all that jazz

 

[cerebusPu]

eh..i think you got it wrong spidey. he memorized some roots of numbers but not the one they asked for. i suppose knowing those numbers helped him calculate it some way. he actually calculated the number in his head in that period of time. he's got more short term ram than i have in harddrive space.

Re-read the article, then go take some math classes.

Wowee, he's must be the single most dorky person on the planet! :Q

wow...just wow

 

[dighn]

his mind definitely works in a different way. just the short term memory requirement of that is inhuman. i mean our brains are just not wired for this kind of tasks. really interesting stuff.

reminds me of dune heh

 

[alexjohnson16]

How do you even look at a 100-digit number in 3.62 seconds, let alone figure out the 13th root?

 

[StrangerGuy]

Chip implant maybe?
