thats impressive stuff!

 

[Jericho]

Wowza, and I thought I was pretty special doing percentage calculations in my head. I even do decimals I can\'t believe he squared a 5-digit number in his head. That\'s insane.

That\'s pretty cool - for a nerd.

 

[mattrock]

that kind of analytical capacity and that\'s what he does with it? Think of the potential.

 

[Torn blue sky]

I was thinking the same thing, the guy\'s obviously an inhuman genius! Seriously impressive stuff...

Cookie Fission slayed me though lol

 

[Avelorn]

That\'s very impressive, and so quick!

But just because he can calculate things in his head doesn\'t mean he necessarily have a great analythical capacity. Just look at the Autistic savant-syndrome.

EDIT: but on the other hand.. his CV is quite long... lol

He seems to be doing this just for fun
