DrEvil270183 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Anyone watching this on channel 5. Guy that the film rain man was based on has just been in it, photographic memory. he can read a book using left eye to read left page, right eye to read right page, and understand 98% of what he has read. anything he reads, he never forgets :) guy the docu is following is maths genius, he is kinda doing maths sums without working them out, they just come to him. he spoke the numbers of Pie (JT) too something like 20,000 decimal points in about 5hours :lol: its really mind blowing and crazy.

Smo™ Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I remember seeing that months ago. He sees numbers as landscapes and reads them like a picture. Weird stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Watched that was very interesting. 25,000 digits of pi he did. Did you see the japanise kids with the abacus' that was crazy. The little boy that did it into thin air all in his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't add 5 and 7 without using my fingures ..... realy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I love maths, I truly would like a system of visualising numbers. Unlike my current system of doing lots of little calculations to come to one big answer. (Obviously not on like 10 digit numbers and stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yeah, it would be pretty swish. But I'm pretty sure most "normal" people can't begin to do it. There's just something in his brain that is way different to most people. Like they said on the program - he probably has a form of Autism, but also has more social skills that a lot of autistic people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Id love to be able to habve a photographic memory I would have sailed through uni. Just read everything no need to revise. COuntless houras of revising could be spent down the booza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobikes Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Might be the same person... Remember reading an article up at uni about an autistic man... Basically he had <insert second condition name (sounds vaguely like savage i think)> which is likely to pop up in 1 out of 10 autistic people and 1 in a 100 'normal' people. Basically like smo said he see's stuff as patterns and images in his mind so he can do immense calculations very easily. And yeh he counted pi up to 20,000 dp using this technique. Basically scientists are trying to work out his brain structure or some shizzle to see whether they could increase us lower mortals chances of getting the same advantage and therefore technically making us cleverer at maths. Downfall is that if they did work it out then we may start showing autistic signs as well so can't realistically see it ever happening... For example the bloke can't go to the beach 'cause he'll instantly try working out how many stones there are... Which is near impossible for him so it screws him over.

Bendee Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 That ray man geezer was f**king imense i just sat there like wtf. He was asked if winston churchil was still alive today how old would he be and what day would his birthday fall on the guy just responded pretty much instantly like he had it writen down on a peice of paper infront of him. His dad said he remembers every book he reads. It takes him 8 - 9 seconds to read a page that would take a normal person 3 mins to read. this guys proper insane its unreal.

MrMonkey Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) RAIN man is based on him, nothing to do with a game character with no arms and legs. Edited July 8, 2005 by MrMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The name these people have been given by scientists is 'Savants' (sp?). They're able to use more of their higher brain capacity than most people. Such as the Rain Man, but unfortunately, the gift of 'Genius' also comes with a price, as you can see.

When you think about it, social skills are incredibly complex, so I don't think he's lucky to be almost devoid of these things. People with autism find it very hard to feel emotions any more complex than happy or sad - they will never know love. Think about it, this guy is not really any cleverer than a calculator or a simple 1980's style computer that can store text It is generally acknowledged that humans are cleverer than computers. The reason is that we are so socially advanced - which is why we rule the earth. Also, humans were made/evolved (depending on your viewpoint (Y)) to reproduce and carry on the species. Not to do a few sums in their heads. There is obviously something wrong with someone who can add up in their head amazingly well, but can't hold a conversation with anyone...

club_card Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 My mum used to work with one of these people can´t remeber what they are called but if you told them what date your birthday was they could tell you the day you were born instantly, and they can memorise landscapes and paint them perfectly it´s amazing, also there good at languages.

inzane_2 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 yeah the guy is amazing, but hes too clever to drive a car, or do the simple things in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 yeah, the other guy who could draw amazing realistic sketches at the age of 4 and got better over time creating master pieces etc..but had communication skills of a child. was weird to see him draw but not be able to speak.

Mr Motivator Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I'm not religious but my unlce/auntie/cousins are. Theres this guy called Tim who goes to the church and he has one of these memories. In the church is a big book of where everyone lives that visits the church. He has access to this book. It is also a fact that he likes to go up to small girls and talk to them and touch them. This combined with his memory makes it possible for him to know exactly where they live, and he goes and visits these small children. Clive, the vicor of the church is a policeman in his space time. He says "Tim is under the church and would do nothing to harm the children" My 10year old and 8 year old female cousins have told my auntie/uncle that Tim touches thier legs. My auntie/uncle have spoken to the vicar/pig and he doesnt seem to be doing much about it. Tim is a bit retarded and has only the mind of a yong child even though he has a physical age of 20. The church think he is fine because he goes to church. Only conclusion.. Religion promotes and accepts paedophilia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, purchase an aluminium baseball bat, then connect it to this Tim fellows brain. Or give your cousins knives and let them touch, twist and just generally gyrate them inside Tim's leg.

Serioulsy, its no beating him up really, besides I have enough to sort out with the police and social services atm so going bashing him up its going to ease anything right now. Just have to get all the mothers and fathers of the children of the church to get down to the police station and get this Tim sorted for good.
