Done. Thanks for the link, lever.

I saw a docu awhile back on Discovery or somesuch about this fella. They introduced him to Kim Peek (The Real Rainman), and took him to various universities to have him tested. Then he learned the Icelandic language in like a week.

After watching that show, l don't know that I'd say he was entirely without disability.

For what it's worth, I hate 289 too.

I dig the idea he sees complex equations and numbers as three-dimensional glyphs. Our Arabic numerals are just two-dimensional, monochromatic characters representing ideas, and an equation is just a simple, flat glyph to represent a more complex concept.

He goes beyond and has a colored, three-dimensional shape that, I presume, communicates a great deal more about the concept than our language does.

I wonder if we all had his abilities, if we would all agree on the shapes he sees as representative of 333 and 289 and Pi, or are his shapes completely unique to his mind?

Check this dude out
