I could not believe that I cloud audacity understand what I was reading the phenomenal power of the human mind! According to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah, and I always thought spelling was important.
it is superb

That's how human psychology works. And regarding power of the human brain, it has such enormous force that if anyone can use even 1% of it, s/he can give the so-called genius a run for their money.
Here are some interesting facts about our barin: [source: https://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/brain-facts.shtml ]
The diameter of an individual brain neuron is just 4 microns thick, you could fit 30,000 neurons on the head of a pin.
Your brain generates nearly 25 watts of power while you're awake, which is enough to light up a light bulb.
Every time you have a new thought, or recall a memory, a new brain connection is made between two or more brain cells.
A living brain is so soft you could cut it with a table knife.
Loss of oxygen for just 5 to 10 minutes can cause serious brain damage. The brain can stay alive for 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen. After that cells begin to die.
The average adult's brain weighs 3 - 4 lbs. but consumes 20% of the bodys oxygen supply.
The human brain contains around 400 miles of blood vessels.
There is no sense of pain within the brain itself which explains why brain surgeons can probe areas of the brain even when the patient is awake.
The left side of your brain (left hemisphere) controls the right side of your body; and, the right side of your brain (right hemisphere) controls the left side of your body.
Your cerebral cortex is about as thick as a doctors tongue depressor and it grows thicker as you learn more.
You will lose consciousness in 10 seconds after the loss of blood supply to the brain.
Of all creatures on earth humans have the most complex brain.
Differences in brain weight and size do not equal differences in mental ability.
If stretched out the cerebral cortex would be 0.23 sq. m or 2.5sq.ft.
Average surface area of the cerebral cortex is 2,500 cm2 or 2.69 sq.ft.
There are about 100 billion neurons in the human brain, the same number of stars in our galaxy.
