Yeah, so this guy is considered a mathematical genius. I would agree for the most part, especially when I see this:
Well try this for size.
The task is to find the 13th root of 85,877,066,894,718,045, 602,549,144,850,158,599,202,771,247,748,960,878,023,151,390,314,284,284,465,842,798,373,290,242,826,571,823,153,045,030,300,932,591,615,405,929,429,773,640,895,967,991,430,381,763,526,613,357,308,674,592,650,724,521,841,103,664,923,661,204,223.
The answer's 2396232838850303. Multiply that by itself 13 times and you get the above. Even with a calculator you wouldn't beat Alexis Lemaire doing the calculation in his head.
On your marks... Lemaire prepares to break the record at OxfordLast week, at Oxford's Museum of the History of Science Lemaire broke his own record for the task, taking it down to 77.99 seconds.
That's sick. It kinda makes me wonder what he does in his spare time, if he knows what that is.
