Brain Juicy facts 01

In 17 December 2004, Alexis Claude Lemaire (born 1980), a French computer scientist, calculated the 13th root of the 100-digit number with a time of 3.625 seconds. 

This is 100-digit number: 3,893,458,979,352,680,277,349,663,255,651,930,553,265,700,608,215,449,817,188,
566,054,427,172,046,103,952,232,604,799,107,453,543,533 


His answer was 45,792,573. 


Bet you took that same amount of time just to look at all the numbers, and even after you've seen the last number, you would have forgotten the first digits.


Although that record was unofficial, it doesn't really matter, does it?


His official timing recorded for Guinness was 13.55 seconds.


In case you'd think he wasn't good enough, he went on to challenge a 200-digit number, and his world record for finding the 13th root for that, is 70.2 seconds


Ouch.
