No, you're right. I haven't seen anything of the like since I saw Mrs Shakuntala Devi (sp?) adding like a mad one on Blue Peter back in the 80s...

If you'll noticed, he doesn't know what the result of the multiplication is. This is what Carol is getting at. But it doesn't matter.

After he got the 23800 and divided it by 25 the right answer is 952. After this I checked on a calculator that it really was the right answer. I wouldn't have got that especially in half a minute. It's just unbelievable the way he did that.

The quote is from Casino Gamblers Guide - 1966 Harper & Row

This is a classic post thanks.
A Quote Alan Wilson

It is a privilege to possess a mathematical talent- however, a true mark of intelligence amongst those who are not mathematical endowed, is the willingness to accept the findings of those who are. Alan Wilson
