Just seen this facinating chap on tv this am. He was born as an autistic savantic - he holds the world record for remembering 22,500 numbers in correct order of pi.He also appeared on Icelandic tv,speaking fluently, a week after the learning the language. Daniel reflects that numbers have colours and movement - eg 1 = brightness, 5 = thunder etc. More in heaven & earth ......

Very interesting,just up your street,Lilli.
