Now tell me something In normal circumstances To calculate that Suppose the computers were not available What are the alternative methods of doing this Well you'd have to do it by Long vision You'd have to do it by trial and error You'd have to split it up Into three groups of three That's an easy question I mean it's an easy long question If you could write it out The number would be But to be absolutely sure Again the correct answer Would be very very difficult And to do it that quickly Is unbelievable But just amazing Just amazing Normally how much time Would you have taken For even a brilliant student To do that for instance Certainly a few minutes Of very very clever students Would certainly take a few minutes And that would be Remarkable in itself I think Wonderful Congratulations You had another question Well yes I've got Another one here How about finding the value Of 7 to the power of 7 7 raised to the power of 7 Yes yes 7 raised to the power of 7 49 Yes you've got the answer You see the answer is 8 Please write down 8 2 3 5 4 3 This is the answer Would you like me to do it Step by step It's not is that the answer I'm going to do it Step by step You've got a computer video Let's say let's race against it Come on Come on I got to 49 Come on let's say 7 multiplied by 7 Is equal to 49 49 multiplied by 7 Is equal to 343 343 multiplied by 7 Is equal to 2401 2401 Multiplied by 49 Is equal to 1176 4 9 That's correct 117649 multiplied by 7 Is equal to 823543 My god My goodness That is fantastic Congratulations Thank you Roger do you have another one to You said something I hope my students are not listening to this We'll keep it strictly confidential What day of the week was I born If I was born on the 10th of March 1940 We have a same birthday Not the same year That's what my mother tells me I guess it's Brian That's wonderful Sami let's go to you now Right now Sami Okay Here's a very messy question Okay Massey do you want to say Massey Not because I'm never messy Why do you say not because I'm messy Okay Sami is a second A third year student At the University of Toronto Commerce and Economics Right Go ahead with your question Okay The first one Right The first one thing When you say messy Does it have any decimals? It does Because the decimals are there People call it messy Because you get the decimals She's freaking me with those decimals Because sometimes what happens You take the closest approximation And you don't get the same decimal places I'll try to get the same as yours I love her Let's see To do that You want it to do Why not more That's sufficient That's sufficient To do Well if you would like If at all I want to do something messy Let me make it very very messy All right Okay All right It's so bad But I love Let's see Great Let's go with it That sounds messy Or that looks messy Or right there 6, 5, 4 3, 2, 1, 6 The cube to this number Multiplied by the fourth root of 3, 8 And 4, 5, 6 Divide it by this Is it? Yes Divide You forgot to put this See That could land me in a mess now Okay Now 6, 5, 4 You can do it It's number multiplied by the fourth root of 3, 8, 9, 4, 5, 6 All thing divided by this Quite a lot of 4, 9, 4, 8 6, 4, 6 Right Right 6 places of this Okay, I only have it 2 I'll give you 6 Okay I can do it 4. Correct 8 Right Right 4.8 5 places more 0, 0, 0, 0 That was just a 0 Wonderful, wonderful Great Let's go with the next one What about, you know Let's have Christopher You had some interesting questions From what I understand I saw you in the hallway You were all bubbly And excited about this whole thing Christopher Let's come up with your question Okay, this is quite a complex one So I've got the answer down Is it here? You haven't got the answer yet No, I have it here Good Okay All right 118 machines 118 machines Yes Can produce 73 items Yes In 7 and a half days I see Yeah, this is before pre-create Right Yeah How many items can 217 machines Produce in 11 and 3 quarter days 11 and 3 quarter days 11 and 3 quarter days What? These questions stress me out Oh my stars Right Thank you You can even clean Okay Are you impressed by that Any chance, Christopher? Yes, I don't think half my class could get that Even with calculators It's an under time Thank you We wanted to now see A bit of a demonstration With respect to the calendar And the dates during the year 1989 Shall we go for it? Okay Okay Yes, why don't you start the Get the boundaries Tell me a date Tell me a date What about right here? Right here Okay I'll go backwards December to January How about that? Okay All right How about Thursday? All the Thursdays December to January Yes, backwards December Thursday 7, 14, 21st, 28th November Thursday 7, 9, 16, 24th, 30th October Thursday 5, 19, 26th September Thursday 7, 14, 21st, 28th August Thursday 3, 10, 17, 24, 31st July Thursday 6, 30, 28, 27th June Thursday 1st, 8, 15, 22nd, 29th May Thursday 4, 18, 25th April Thursday 6, 30, 28, 27th March Thursday 2nd, 9, 16, 23rd 3rd, 8, February Thursday 2nd, 9, 16, 23rd January Thursday 5, 19, 26th Oh my God If I ask you That was interesting Because even though you're going backwards You gave the dates of the month Going forwards Each month You gave You went 5, 12, 19, 26 That's interesting So even though you're going backwards You're still picking forwards I'm going backwards and forwards Yes, practically No, I'm not Last time I did From backwards Would you like to give a date? Can you do the 13th? 13th, why not? December 13th Wednesday November 13th Monday October 13th Friday September 13th Wednesday August 13th Sunday July 13th Tuesday May 13th Saturday April 13th Thursday How's the brain even do that? Monday, January 13th Friday Well, let's talk about the Friday and the 13th Before going any further We're really impressed I'm sorry we've come to the end of the show Shakuntala, our hearty congratulations Thank you Very quick reaction What do you think of Shakuntala Devi Raja? Well, absolutely amazing The only relationship I can think of Between Shakuntala is the Very well known Indian mathematician Romano Jan Who died about 30 or 40 years ago Who was world famous And he's the only other person I can think of Who has the same or similar talents Just so I'm just amazed To be in honor Thank you, Shakuntala Thank you very much It's been a great pleasure Thank you very much indeed It's been a pleasure Thank you Thank you all I feel stupid It actually Like the fact that her brain can work that way And mine can't remember what I had for breakfast Yeah, no, no, no That's way beyond comparative intelligence That's way, way, way, way, way beyond Comparative intelligence That is, that is gifting That is miraculous That is like Remember when we first saw The level of artistic genius That is Estadio Zakir Hussein Who just were like Right? Or turning in Multiply that Times about 10, 15,000 I don't know that I've ever seen Anybody exhibit a level of proficiency And skill in anything In the human experience That I've come across in my life Like what I just saw Yeah, and the fact that one Obviously she can do numbers Just that fast Obviously with math And then also dates She can apparently go back 2,000 years And she's Can tell you in an instant Yeah Like, so obviously it's a math equation That she can easily do in her head That Like it's just like Math is obviously She's more than fluid attendant It It makes me emotional To think that And it makes me want this movie To do her justice in a big freakin' way now If this becomes some light fluff Well, that's what I think a lot of people When I saw it I was like Okay, so this is And obviously she's quirky And we saw it in the video Oh, I love her She's very quirky Like anytime anybody says anything She's like, oh, I'll do it Yeah, yeah, I'll do it Do you want me to do it even better? I can do it And she obviously has this confidence Because she has no reason Right, but no arrogance Great confidence with no arrogance So there's that bubbliness But I was worried When I saw the trailer I'm like, okay So this is genius Yeah Maybe literal genius It is giftedness that transcends The human understanding Can't make her into this fluff movie Yeah And I don't know if they did No Because it's not out yet But that's what the concern is Like when you have a genius Like whether it's in NASA or wherever You want to do that person a justice It's comparable And I don't mean to be hyperbolic But I really mean this It would be comparable to Having somebody in the room talk to us And they tell us Yeah, I can will myself to be Anywhere on earth at any time I like You can do what? I can will myself to be anywhere I want Okay, so here's what I want you to do Will yourself to be in Manhattan And get a hot dog from a street vendor And then come right back with it And show it to me And then there's just a And they're here with the hot dog in their hand And for them it's just like Yeah, this is what I do And I, you know, I watch TV I brush my teeth And you're watching them going Do you understand? No one does that Even like these other three I'm assuming all professors All of them I bet were brilliant clients Genius mathematician professors Right, brilliant And this person's just blowing them away Leaving them in the dust Like I'm There's, I don't have a superlative To describe how utterly Astonished I am by the gift Of this woman's brain The days of the week I'm just blabbering Goofball right now I've never seen anything Well, I hope the movie does a justice Oh, man And better And I'm sure obviously Vidya did her homework Obviously in trying to replicate Obviously Vidya's playing a younger version As you can see here What a monumental task to play that woman Yeah, that's a pretty big task But if there's more videos That she's just showing her genius That was almost as fun as like watching Like you said And you start just saying Just do what he does Yeah, and it's better than like When you watch a great magician Right, you get your mind blown You're like, how did they do it? This is way, way, way, way beyond that This is like, okay I just want to marvel At what the human This human being is capable of It's inspiring And she's so matter of fact And confident And, man That was cool It's incredible I hope you enjoyed that magic video As much as we did We're just like Let us know more videos down below Thank you for watching
