"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest tonight. He's not just incredibly talented, but his intellect is off the charts. Please give a warm welcome to the one and only, JUSTIN!"
The audience erupts into thunderous applause as Justin, confidently walks onto the stage. He exudes an air of intelligence, wearing a sharp suit and a warm smile.
Justin shakes hands with James, and they exchange a few words before James steps aside, giving Justin the center stage.
"Thank you, James, and thank you, everyone, for having me here tonight. I have prepared something that I hope will intrigue and amaze you."
The audience leans forward with anticipation, their eyes fixated on Justin.
"I'd like to demonstrate the power of my memory. Can I have a volunteer from the audience?" said Justin.
A young woman raises her hand excitedly. Justin points to her and gestures for her to join him on stage. She walks up nervously as Justin greets her with a warm smile.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Sarah."
"Nice to meet you, Sarah. Now, I'm going to ask you a series of random words, and I want you to remember them. Are you ready?"
Sarah nods, looking both excited and nervous.
"Okay, here we go. Dog, umbrella, piano, orange, ladder, book, coffee, and airplane. Got them?"
Sarah nods again, clearly trying her best to memorize the words.
'Now please rearrange those words and create a new sequence."
Sarah furrows her brow, hesitating for a moment before rearranging the words in her mind.
"Alright...Umbrella, book, orange, ladder, piano, dog, airplane, coffee."
Justin's smile widens, impressed by her quick thinking.
"Perfect. Now, Sarah, I want you to think of any three-digit number and add it to each word in the sequence. Take your time."
Sarah thinks for a moment, and then her face lights up with an idea.
"I've got it!"
"Great! Now, tell us the new sequence."
Sarah takes a deep breath before confidently reciting the rearranged sequence, with each word modified by the three-digit number she chose.
"259-umbrella, 376-book, 618-orange, 432-ladder, 104-piano, 780-dog, 521-airplane, 903-coffee."
The audience gasps in amazement, clearly astounded by Sarah's ability to remember and manipulate the words.
"Impressive, Sarah! But here's the mind-blowing part. Let me reveal something about you. The three-digit number you chose was 497, am I right?"
Sarah's eyes widen in disbelief.
"Yes, that's correct! How did you...?"
"It's simple, really. You see, I've trained my mind to perform complex calculations and remember vast amounts of information. By observing your thought process and subtle cues, I was able to deduce your chosen number."
The audience erupts into a standing ovation, amazed by Justin's extraordinary intelligence and quick thinking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for Justin! Truly a remarkable display of intelligence!"
Justin bows modestly, acknowledging the applause with gratitude.
Another thing includes...
The host then steps forward, holding a piece of paper with a complex calculus problem written on it.
