There was this interesting article i read abt last wk..so bored frm the f**king mkting..
A french student has been hailed a human calculator after solving the ultimate mental arithmetic challenge-finding the 13th root of a 200-digit number-in under 9 minutes without writing anything down. For dumbos like me who don't know what a 13th root is,this is the number which, multiplied by itself 13 times, matched the 200-digit that was tested.
The question was: What is the 13th root of 8368956688236956939837328662225645224726780466493836677497357558157

kao...talk about long qns...whew...
and the answer was : 2391481494636373

i gotta salute this guy...what a genius...most of us would have given up even if we had used a pen and a piece of paper..this bugger didn't even write anything down..

Most of us have have a touch of genius in us.It just hasn't been discovered yet.Some are just waiting to be discovered.

Oh ya,i didn't come up with the above question and answer myself..can check out this website.. www.13throot.com
