Why binary? I once skimmed a biography of Ramanujan, he started multiplying numbers in his head as a pre-teen. I suspect it was grindingly boring, but given the surroundings, might have been the most fun thing he could think of. If you're autistic, then focusing obsessively on some task might be a great way to pass the time, but if you're more or less normal, I doubt you'll get very far with obsessive-compulsive self-training -- and that's the problem, isn't it? --linas ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=106510220-47b225 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
