Default calculating wiz

german video, translation down below

scientist: ok, let´s start with something moderate, let´s say 62/167?

moderator: brain researcher thorsten fehr (sp???) from the unisversity of bremen specialised on memory gigants. calculate-wiz rüdiger gamm is his most spectaculare case yet.

test person: 0.37125...... (names 166 digits behind the comma)

s: yes, the first 30 digits after the comma, which the computere did calculat, were correct.


m: examination objects: rare extraordinarily capabilities such as menthal arithmetic genius rüdiger gamm.

s: let´s go further with virility. 67³³

t: 1 decillion, 821 nonilliards.... (note: in german unlike in english 1 milliards = 1000 millions)

s: well, including the last digit: exactly.

test person in interview with moderator: i´m capable of making 20-30 steps per second. this runs automatically, and when i do have the result i can see it as a number band right before my inner eye.

m: when being on high school nothing led to the superhumanly calculating genius of rüdiger gamm. (showing an "e" for mathematics). only at the age of 20 he explored accidentally that he is a calculating wiz in fact. listening to the radion he bat easily a there performing menthal arithmetic master. gamm started to train his talent. today he can handle viritities to the 50th of all 2digits numbers, 8 digits trigonometirc functions and the number of pi with 5000 digits behind the comma. he trains bundesliga-teams (soccer) and top management people as a mental trainer for concentration.



guess he would make one hell of a poker player
