Mathemagician = Cool Nerd

March 19th, 2008 by nerol someones

Check out this video of Arthur Benjamin, from TED’s 2005 Conference. A self-proclaimed ‘mathemagician’, Arthur can multiply numbers up to 5 digits in length in his head. And he works faster than calculators.

Obviously he’s good with the numbers. It’s also safe to say he’s probably not nearly as good with the ladies.

   Great post bro… I wonder if he’s sort of a savant?

   Also, the image from the front of the video is classic. What must he be thinking? “Check out my awesome cummerbund!”

   He’s the entertainment that geeks want for their birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, and wedding receptions.
