We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
This record is a record of mental calculation ability. One beats the record if they can complete one attempt with all 10 correct tasks of dividing in less than 5 minute 45 seconds (or 345 seconds)
Rules:
Intermediate results should not be written and devices like calculator can not be used.
They can download this program to generate set of 10 tasks of dividing 10 digit number by 5 digit number as set by "Memory and Mental Calculation Records" website.
Number of Attempts: No more than 10 attempts within a period of 24 hours. When program is run, it generate 10 tasks for each of the 10 attempts and also the solution file seperately. One of the witness can print the problem set and give to record breaker one set when attempt begins. Witnesses verify the solution after each attempt.
Timekeeping: The timing begins when the task becomes visible to the competitor and ends at the end of writing/dictating the answer. Correcting the answer while typing is allowed
Two witnesses must confirm the record, at least one of them should have a professional background in mathematics/calculating.

Amit, really interesting record. Can you explain a little further how it worked? What would people have to do if they want to try and beat your time?
