I was literally left speechless. I can accomplish certain small feats of mental math, but this is absolutely unbelievable. <a href="http://www.math.hmc.edu/~benjamin/index.html" target="_blank">Arthur Benjamin</a> shows us some inspiring abilities of the human mind. I&#8217;m sure he has spent a fair amount of time learning his methods, and that to him his abilities are perfectly normal (in some sense!), but it&#8217;s great to watch someone with this talent. I highly recommend watching the video in its entirety.</p>
