Math Genius to the Nth Power
A 38-year-old with degrees in psychology, education and computer science needed only 11.8 seconds to calculate the 13th root of a 100-digit number in his head, setting a new record and beating electronic calculators, organizers said.

Unfortunately, his feat can't be placed into the Guinness Book of World Records because there is no clear standards for the challenge.
