Daniel Tammel is a prodigtous I talent. The 25-year-old savant I fromKenl, UK, has becn I dublKd a real-Ufe human I computei with an amazing
mental abllity. The speed and accuracy oí his mathematical calculatlons are niind-hoggling: Iw adds fasler than a calculo tor and can recall pito 22,,SI4 decimal places. Nmlless lo say he doesn't bother using the addrcss book contained on his inobile phone - he knows every single ñame and tclcphone number and ihousands more besides!
But he is, of course, the exceplion. Fewer than 50 people in thc world have a gift of this kind. For the rest uf us, just remembering our PIN or car rcgistration ptesents enough of a challenge. So given our sievc-llke memories, it is something ot ;t mystery why so nittch of our I Ivés seem lo depend on a contusión of urbitrary numbers, ali uf which have to be recognised, reterred to, storcd and tised iitany times daily.
