    That quickly to so many decimal places?

    If so, looks like he isn't the fastest then.

    Lol that isn't that immpressive. The long division one is really simple, you know 7 goes into 923, 131 times, with 6/7 left over. So all he needs to know is 6/7 as a decimal and add it on the end of 131, which isn't hard to remember.

    Also I don't look for those tricks, just do it normally. To be fair, didn't watch video. :P

    Re: Fastest human calculator on earth!

    Also if anyone wants to know how he did the last one:

    Find cube root of 912673.

    1) It's obviously a 2 digit number.

    2) It's also obvious that . So the first digit is 9.

    3) It ends in a 3, so the second digit can only be a 7.

    Hence the answer is 97.

    Those brackets with the tiny lines at the bottom mean the "floor value" of the answer. Which is you take the answer without regard to the decimal. ie - .

    Keep in mind that it's not getting the answer, but the speed at which it is done. While the tricks show how it is done, it is still the speed he's developed that makes it impressive.

    Also something cool is that 1729 is the lowest number that can be expressed as the sum of 2 different sums of 2 cubes.

    I don't think that the fact he can do them is amazing, it's the speed at which he does them.

    While I believe it can be done, I'm hesitant to believe you can currently do it.

    Nice, was just wiping the window in the bathroom and the cover for the fan came off and the fan blades smashed into a million pieces, narrowly missing my eyes and hitting my face. Are there any other hazards we should be aware of?

    I think the fact that people can do maths is amazing.

    tbh I don't think you could do it that fast.

    You can defs do it, but not that speed imo.
