But there are some who seem to be blessed extraordinary love for numbers, calculations and a genius mind.

He barely takes a few seconds to answer how many days old is a 12-year-old person. Similarly for how many hours a 15-year-old person has spent and so on. His quick calculations may give you stress if you are not particularly fond of the subject. What's amazing is he mentions that he has never been to school and yet he is a master at the calculations.
