<p>You should read about Shakuntala Devi. She could calculate roots faster than a computer and there is a story of her working out in her head the product of 2 13 digit numbers in 28 seconds and then correcting the person who had the calculation written down by pointing out where he’d failed to carry a number properly.</p>
