[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 281687, member: 233652"] Damn it though, how does that man do it? I mean to calculate the days like that, it's puzzled me since I saw that him on QED in about 1982. If you look on the menus on most Humax receivers, they have a calendar where you're able to go back through the decades, I think as far as 3000, and as far back as 1899. Every day, every month... You're right, though, a part of his brain is operating at a very advanced level, to the degree almost to that of a computer. I think when someone who is lacking in real-terms intelligence, but is also autistic, if they have a special interest - in the case of the calendar man, CALENDARS - then 80% of his functioning intellect concentrates immensely to find the solution. Without him knowing it, he's devised in his head a method of calculation, he, nor we, fully understand. :) [/QUOTE]
