There are memory tests like digits of pi you can remember. Are there tests for most complex algorithm you can consciously run in head?

Mine is probably adding two 3-digit numbers. Or maybe multiplying two 2-digit numbers.

Figuring out what day of the week a certain date is? I made a way to do it in two images and an addition back in uni. Simple, but impresses.

Well, leaving aside social value, I'm thinking maximum kolmogorov-chaitin entropy you can hold in head or something

I treated the metal arithmetic parts of IQ tests that way. Used hairy algorithms with look up tables etc. everywhere but fast to do in head.

I am reminded of Von Neumann summing up a huge series in his head for the 'two bicycles and a fly' puzzle 😊

Not complex but, take a single look at a phone number from contacts & sum the digits. It's tests attention span, memory & computation.
