Daniel Tammet got the record to memorize pi to 22,514 digits in over 5 hours.He also speaks a variety of languages including English, French, Finnish, German, Spanish, Lithuanian, Romanian, Estonian, Icelandic, Welsh and Esperanto. Tammet is capable of understanding new languages really rapidly. I am very interested for individuals with an incredible mind. He was born with congenital childhood epilepsy. To prove this for the Channel Five documentary, Tammet was challenged to learn Icelandic in one week. Daniel Paul Tammet is gifted with mathematical calculations, sequence memory, and natural language learning. Seven days later he appeared on Icelandic television conversing in Icelandic, with his Icelandic language instructor saying it was "not human." He experience synesthesia forming numbers of colors or sensation, specifically Daniel's imagery of these numbers is specific. Tammet not only verbally describes these visions, but also creates artwork, specially watercolor paintings, such as his painting of Pi.
In his mind, he says, each quantity up to 10,000 has its own distinctive shape and feel, that he can "see" results of calculations as landscapes, and that he can "sense" whether a amount is prime or composite.
