Good one. I know there is at least one man who can accurately state pi
to 20,000 places. He tells whether big numbers are prime as well plus
a lot of other math. He was featured on a Discovery Channel
documentary. He doesn't memeorize as least not in any way that can be
determined. What he is able to do is associate numbers and apparently
their positions with a shape, color and feeling, so that the number 7
might look something like a taco but be light blue and feel warm to
him. That was no gimmick. He went on to learn a language in a
week....Icelandic, a language they were fairly sure he had no exposure
to. Unlike some of the people who are Savants, he seems normal. The
mind is amazing. It makes me wonder if somewhere hidden in the
recesses of our minds are every experience, thought and vision we have
had, read or heard, just awaiting the right trigger or drug to return
them to consciousness?
