Question

How can a person be exceptionally skilled at mathematics -- scores
in the 98th percentile on all standard tests, does a variety of calculations
in his head, yadda yadda.

Yet when you ask this person to subtract something, he can't do it
any faster than anyone else -- in fact, he has to get the calculator out
for something that he doesn't need when you ask him to add, multiply,
divide in his head.

What gives?  Is there some kind of explanation the cognitive people
can provide me (or maybe the physio people) for this kind of problem?

Thanks,
Jim Guinee
