Damn young whippersnapper...

All I know is at the age of 12, I was still trying to figure out "new math" (and when I was 12, in 1962, it really was "new math", not the old style 'rithmetic we had been taught up until that point)

I think I got a headache

Hmm...

I suspect some will be watching his career with great interest.

We should send him a copy of SH4. He might be willing to help us out with some issues.

I don't think it would do any good...he's only got an IQ of 170...

12 year old in college. I feel sorry for him. What kind of social and emotional development can this kid have? And the Aspergers does not help.

Kinda sad actually. I wish him the best of luck in life, I fear he will need it.
