A GERMAN man has broken the world record in mental calculation, needing just 11.80 seconds to work out the 13th root of a 100-digit number.
Gert Mittring, a 38-year old computer scientist, was faster working out the answer than several onlookers using calculators at an event in the western town of Giessen sponsored by the Museum of Mathematics.
A spokesman for the museum said Mr Mittring's time broke a record set in 1988 by Alexis Lemaire of France, who completed a similar calculation in 13.55 seconds.
Damn, that's very cool. I would like to know what he's IQ is and how much and what type of training he has. According to the scientists we are just using some percents of our total brain capacity. That's pretty weird.
