[new] This guy's a nut (none / 0) (#1)

If you do a 'whois' search on www.13throot.com you'll see that Alexis LeMare is the owner.. This is the site the Times article points to as the 'official' site on the 13th root record. Secondly, LeMare writes his own press releases and is his own publicist. Thirdly, as his website shows, there are easy to memorize tricks to calculating a 13th root. Not that it wouldn't be difficult, if his times were even posted accurately, but its clear he's no 'calculating genius.' Give him an 11th or 17th root, where there are no simple tricks, and see how well he does.
