2. These types of situations are rare and very fascinating.

Six or seven years ago, I remember watching YouTubes of a British youngster, then in his teens, who could recite Pi like to the three thousandth place, solve complex equations as fast as people in the audience with calculators, etc.

He said he "saw" the answers, and he saw the answer in colors. (So if the answer was 33,406.7, the 3 might be red, the 4 green, the 6 yellow, etc.)

He had been a normal kid until he suffered a blow to the head, and then he gained this unique ability.

He would be asked to present his unique talents in front of academics and they had no explanation for it.
