You know any genious? A friend of mine's father is a true math-genious...
He has even done stuff that no professional mathematician has been able to accomplish, and he does it using simpel methods, like a piece of paper and a calculator.
This is not bullshit. I can tell you his name is LÃ¥ngberg...
I'm gonna bump this thread up if he decides to go public. He could easaliy make a living doing math,
but it's his passion, his hobby, which he prefers doing in his sparetime.
He's a driver... hehe.

He makes math beautiful.

in my school - there are kids that are basically human calculators - they are in teh special education classes because they cannot perform in the same way that regular people can - but ive seen these kids stand there while people ask them questions - "256 * 1028" (then the kid answers correctly in under a second) - some of the stuff they can do is amazing - but its not without a loss

You're into math to? I think he's gonna send one of his systems to Guiness (that world record-association).
He has actually done stuff not done before. And he does them so simply.
It's like coding, he doesn't add any crappy code, he just does what is needed and writes really small working stuff.

cool... well not sure he's good at math in that way (he's a "normal" person)...
Dunno how his minds work though, cause it is obviosly one of a kind...

I have actually not met his father =( he lives like 500 km or so away from where I and my friend lives. But sometimes when my friend visits his folks he brings back some of his father's work and shows it to me...
I'm always amazed...

About those special ed kids, I find that kind of thing fascinating. I saw an interview on tv once with a mentaly challenged artist who could recreate to insane detail, buildings, cities, nature, etc after seeing them once. I'm going to visit my family this weekend, and my one little bro is slightly challenged and it amazes me sometimes when i go home and see his abstract drawings and 3d representations.
