isn't the estimated clock frequency of a human brain in the order of 100Hz?

The human brain doesn't have a clock frequency. That's approx the firing
rate of a neuron, tho.

There have been asynchronous microprocessors, people also specify a
'clock'-rate for those.
I know that eventhough a single neuron fires maximally in that order of
magnitude you need a much smaller timescale to simulate a brain. But
explaining that is not as funny.

No no - things that are fun *for me*! :-P

Sometimes I wander if I should hang out somewhere _else_ on the Internet...

OK, that explains it (I think... I won't ask what Portal is). The answer
then is 456.2 YHz.

Portal? You know, the multi-award-winning computer game that took the
world by storm a few years back?
OK, well maybe it didn't, but if you've ever heard anybody on the
Internet suggest that "the cake is a lie", this is why.
> The answer then is 456.2 YHz.
Haha. I had to actually look that up.
