Still, not a nine year old girl that only had about a week and a half before the competition.

actually there is this one guy (hes a math savant, can do any calculation in his head) who calculated pi (no not memorized it...CALCULATED IT) in his head to 100,000 digits. it took him 5 hours....and there were like 7 people checking printouts of the number to make sure he was right..........he was flawless. i was amazed to see him do it.

give him any mathematical computation, and he can do it seconds.

45637285946725849 divided by 43278329507490059876.543789 would take him only like 5 seconds to calculate and like 5 minutes to recite because of the massive amount of decimal places
