Fastest Possible Processing Speed of the Human Brain – World Mental Calculation
In 2009, when Usain Bolt smashed the world record in the 100 metres sprint in 9.58 seconds, the world wondered what was the fastest possible speed that anyone could run. Could anyone run 100 metres in 9.5 seconds? 9.0 seconds? 2.0 seconds?
In 2009, when Usain Bolt smashed the world record in the 100 metres sprint in 9.58 seconds, the world wondered what was the fastest possible speed that anyone could run. Could anyone run 100 metres in 9.5 seconds? 9.0 seconds? 2.0 seconds? Just as an athlete pushes their body to its limits, a competitive mental calculator pushes their brain’s processing power to its limit. But what is that limit? How fast can the brain do Mental Math? Earlier this year, Marc Jornet Sanz set yet another massive new record in Multiplication – solving ten eight-digit multiplications of the form \(5602
