  • Gibt es diesen Taschenrecher auch im Internet zum Runterladen?

  • Nein, gibt es nicht. Es ist ein Programm das speziell für ihn programmiert wurde.

  • was ist das fürn prog im hintergrund???

  • Ist speziell für ihn programmiert worden.

  • Hey

    Have a look at wikipedia, but I don`t know if there is an english version of his life and what he`s doing.

  • Ich will nicht wissen, wie viele Menschen mit solchen fähigkeiten in Deutschland durch das scheiss Schulraster fallen und nie entdeckt werden!

  • so große Zahlen kenn ich garnicht. :D

    der hat's echt drauf.

see all

  • I KNOW A GUY BETTER THAN HIM... THIS GUY IS 42 .

    Lives in a poor Village in Albania, he can calculate 20 digit numbers.. dates in days hours and minutes.... he have been depressed bcs of his friends forcing him.

    in the village of Varibop,Mallakaster Albania.

    he's called Fatmir.

  • This is mind-blowing.

  • My turn: What is 2 + 2? It is 5!......FUCK =/

  • @selbi182

    aber ähnlich gute "Taschenrechner", die eben diese ganzen "Quatuorvigintilliarden" nicht drinhaben, kann man durchaus gratis online bekommen. Eben Programme die bei solchen Berechnungen seeehr viele Stellen ausgeben, wenn irgendwie möglich dann alle. Da gibt es viele. Die Aufteilung in extra bezeichnete Triplets (Dreierkonstellationen) und die Anzeige, auf Beamer gut lesbar und für den Moderator beherrschbar, sind hier auf Gamm ausgerichtet. Also hol dir ein ähnliches Programm :)

    third and last comment.... Had to remove second comment due to errors i discovered when calculating...

    i now did calculations, and i think you are right, when the question is asked in degrees he can use modulo to simplify down and then use his memory. If all questions are asked in this format, its a very finite set that he surely can memorize. But he could also calculate this using pi, and then he could do questions like Sin(182646.3467) as well, notice the point.

  • @Curse274

    i have to do calculations on this. One problem i have with this: i dont think that except for pi he memorizes any numbers he doesnt understand, which means cannot calculate himself. The second problem: you assume that in this kind of question, its the dregrees of which 360 make up the full circle. I think its given in radiant degrees, where 2 pi = full circle. In both cases, describing your method he would not be accurate to more than maybe 4 or 5 digits.

  • @kurtilein3 When you see him giving the tangent of 62875112 all he is doing is finding the remainder of it divided by 180 (mod 180 = 32) and then giving the answer of tan(32) from memory at say 2 digits a second. The beauty of his specialty is the outside observer might for a moment think he's the fastest calculator ever (especially with division and exponentiation) but when you find out it's just memory it's still mind-blowingly impressive.

  • @Curse274

    memorizing pi has another advantage, as Rüdiger Gamm found out. Having pi memorized allows him to calculate sinus, cosinus and tangens, a skill he more or less stumbled upon later in his career. I think he is the only mental calculator that can give you dozens of digits of, for example, the tangens or cosinus of a 5-digit number. So memorizing pi turned out to give him much more than to just have pi memorized.

    Er lernts aber nicht auswendig. Er wurde schon von Wissenschaftlern unter kontrollierten Bedingungen getestet, so dass sich stichhaltig belegen lässt dass er vorher nicht weiß welche Aufgaben ihm gestellt werden.

    Im Video sind auch nur Potenzen. Er kann auch Brüche rechnen, und er hat Pi bis auf mehrere tausend Stellen memorisiert. Was wirklich praktisch niemand sonst kann ist Sinus, Cosinus, Tangens. Er kann problemlos den Tangens von z.b. 12899 auf dutzende von Stellen angeben.
