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.

The constant distraction for something colourful and fresh

Normality and consistency dulls the mind and spirit, and pushes man to be on the constant lookout for something new and interesting to add some zest to their life, much like the presence of my interactive fishies on the right.

No matter how minute or seemingly insignificant the distraction really is, man's cognitive bias will certainly elevate its value to a much higher value than in reality.

So have fun with my fishes whenever you get bored of non-interactive websites.

I really wish to rule the world

I think I can.

Is it possible to deduce the personality alignment of someone just by facial observation?

While I deem it possible to conclude one's personality by observing his/her interactions, mannerisms, posing, habits, way of speech, for 5 mins, it initially seemed a little hard for one to do the same with just the face.

Based on the reasoning that personality drives behaviour and expression, it should then be possible for that to happen. Subtle facial expressions and facial gestures are also expressions of personality, and catching these is the key to figuring out their personality.

At least the vague personality traits.
