Good morning and a very happy Friday! It’s another sunny day today. Unfortunately, rain is back in the forecast starting Sunday.
Fun fact: The human calculator managed 36 additions in 15 seconds
In 2000, an American named Scott Flansburg — also known as the Human Calculator — was given a two-digit number (38) and added it to itself over and over again as fast as he could.
Flansburg had 15 seconds to complete the challenge, and as he was adding, two mathematicians did the same using a calculator. Before time ran out, Flansburg managed to complete 36 additions, earning him the Guinness World Record title of the fastest human calculator.
“You guys are slow,” Flansburg joked to the mathematicians after he finished.
According to Guinness, Flansburg can instantly divide any two numbers, as well as determine what day of the week you were born.
