This is a really fascinating documentary about one of the most incredible minds in the world. He is a savant, which is a person who is able to perform incredible feats with their minds. He was able to learn Icelandic in a week, and memorize Pi to about 20 thousand digits. What makes him unique among savants is that he has relatively normal social skills. Kim Peak, the man behind the movie Rainman is one of the most famous savants. He is able to read a page in about 10 seconds and remember about 98% of what he read. Peak also remembers virtually everything he has ever read.
