"You should be young, but it's not bad." This sentence is not derogatory, but it points out a very profound social phenomenon. There is no shortage of "prodigies" in this world, but can all prodigies continue to be "gods"? Not necessarily. Compared with others, prodigies certainly have extraordinary talents, but if this talent is not cherished and fully exerted through hard work, then even the best talent will only disappear in front of everyone.
Indian girl Shakuntala is really a genius.
Shakuntala's mental arithmetic talent was revealed when she was very young. When she was five or six years old, her father once played cards with her uncle. As a result, she can remember all the cards at a glance and calculate according to the cards they play.
We all know that the highest level of playing cards is not counting cards except "cheating" (cheating), but counting cards requires a particularly high memory ability and mental arithmetic ability, and basically requires systematic learning. How big is Shakuntala? Can reach this point.
Shakuntala's father immediately realized that this daughter was unusual. Sure enough, every time she was asked a math problem, she always gave the answer quickly. Even when her brother was doing his homework, she could casually answer the answer involving three square roots. Shakuntala's father felt that he had found the treasure now and immediately arranged for Shakuntala to perform in various places.
With more and more places to perform, Shakuntala is becoming more and more famous. /kloc-At the age of 0/5, Shakuntala became popular all over Europe. Everyone knows that there is such a new little girl with outstanding mental arithmetic ability, and even gave her the title of "humanoid computer"
So can Shakuntala really run faster than a computer? That's true.
In a performance in Australia, experts at the scene randomly gave an astronomical figure for Shakuntala to calculate. Unexpectedly, Shakuntala gave the answer before the staff could input all the figures into the computer. Afterwards, everyone found that the answer was exactly the same as the result of computer operation. Mental arithmetic can be faster than a computer, and Shakuntala became famous on the next floor.
Shakuntala's ability has finally attracted the attention of mathematicians all over the world. Although she is no longer a girl growing up with age at this time, she is still a genius in the field of mental arithmetic, and the name of the genius has been spread to the performance of 1982 in the United States.
1982, the American Global magazine published an article entitled "A Man Better than a Computer", which described that Shakuntala was invited to the United States to compete with the most advanced award-winning computer at that time, and the title of the competition needed to be held 23 times. The huge instruction and digital unit made one of the most advanced computers in the world run for 1 minute to work out the answer, while Shakuntala only gave the answer in 50 seconds!
Shocked? Of course it's shocking. The problem is that Hua, a famous mathematician in China, just glanced at Shakuntala's answer and said, "The calculation is wrong." Is Hua also a hidden heart a genius? Professor Hua is very good at mathematics, but his mental arithmetic ability is not so magical. He can see that the calculation is wrong because of the "law".
The calculation of any number has rules to follow. According to the rules, Hua directly inferred that the tenth digit of the answer should not be "9", but "7". Facts have proved that Hua's answer is correct.
The growth of age and miscalculation made Shakuntala fall from the altar. If she had not been led by her father to perform everywhere, but devoted herself to her studies, then Shakuntala's achievements must have reached unimaginable levels.
Today, Shakuntala has stopped performing. She has earned enough money to become an astrologer, but unfortunately another example of "hurting Zhong Yong" happened.
