I agree; it's a great demonstration that machines, despite being many orders of magnitude faster, are capable of only the same types of very simple operations that humans can do.
That is one idea intro CS students certainly should get used to, as I've found that manually executing algorithms is good for debugging and learning too.

This is really interesting! I'm tempted to borrow this and use it as a lecture for my intro CS students.
