Savant Syndrome

[Radaaaaaaaaaar]

4 € tshirt 10€ pay 0.20€

[Simangel1307]

10 minutes in a hour??

[Haggletoe]

I checked every date the old man gave and their answers are correct! Except the dates 92860 and 132470.

[anuncreativemind]

its amazing how they can't answer simple math, but otherwise the crazy math shit and their memory is insane

[MerkinMuffly]

Nose picking savant

[sweetlikeADAM]

10 minutes in an hour, what? lol

[spaceman1979]

So this is the guy who helped Dustin Hoffman win that Oscar for Rain Man

[big7bro7]

@spaceman1979 no, that was kim peek. check him out

[spaceman1979]

@big7bro7 I also read that and yes you are right. However I believe that Hoffman based the mannerisms of his character on this guy in the video. He probably being dead by the time Rain Man was being made.

[liquidplastic62]

Guy sounds like Dustin Hoffman in rain man

[gonsuy]

Shit I was writing to UCLA to tell them I knew 4x7 is 28 until I read the description

[jamieblond1]

That would be on a Monday <<< .....what HE said.

[rafaelnadalohmygod]

El otro tienee alguna capacidad de ese o algún tipò?Gracias

[girlines]

kalenderrechner:)

naja das video ist nicht so gut zwar erstaunlich aber der moderator ist hart

[SuperMrDutch]

lol, the guy on the left is not a genius he just suck balls xD

[BenceCsuti]

gift and a curse

[GiratinaPlatinum2008]

My brother has it, just found out. '-'

[tgz1000]

They're totally wrong anyway, any guy on the street can tell you that in the year 9440 july 19 is on a monday.

[shalayneG]

@tgz1000 HOW?

[alenaduhur88]

the guy on the right is probably george finn.

[superUltimateBastard]

the buddy holly lookin guy knows his dates

[hurryupandw8t]

do not read my comment.

there's a trick to it. and some people view numbers only as groups, categories, sequence without the individual. if they stop at a point ,it can be observed ... but if they try to extrapolate, interpret, evaluate , the conjecture is speculative. that's not it, then.

[jerryjingjo]

very interesting that they can solve such complex things and yet cant do simple addition

[KnobRot]

They just don't make glasses the way they used to :(

[Mercurybath]

Why is the guy on left even there?

[dolly32112]

what is Alan Sugar doing...

[johnwolfe]

well the guy on the left cheated his way through that

[Velvet4U]

Right !! He just repeated everything the other guy said.

[Malinux]

Probably the right is just faster.. I dont think that the guy on the right would cheat.. just look at him.

[Velvet4U]

No, what he meant was, the kid sitting in the MIDDLE just repeats everything the OTHER kid sitting on the right said. The man asking the questions, said to the kid in the MIDDLE, "What do you say?" and the kid in the MIDDLE said the EXACT same thing as the kid on the RIGHT

[lorelyjohnson]

it's obvious you don't know Autistic people. they are classic autistic teenagers

[mraccident]

@johnwolfe No way, 1:40 he said the answer.

[chutdigadut]

@johnwolfe HAHAHAHAHA

[totyessz]

LOLZ!1:36-1:38 anybody??...he's puttin' a cigarette into his mouth,than quickly take it out,as if he'd remember,that it isn't allowed!

[GraveCorpsesHours]

Stop watching gay vids!!!!!!

Stop watching gay vids!!!!!!

[TheGraveCreature]

looks as though the first one pointing at his head is doing the thinking and the second, answering.

[nomacskeb]

you guys don get it, they can do extremly difficult calculations like what day it will be in 3459 years but dont even know how many minuits are in an hour!

its all in there mind

and each one of them have differant level of abilities, some dont even show symptoms of autism

[skint0n0minted]

the one on the left doesn't answer any.

[Scede]

so would you ;)

[2degucitas]

Rainman!!!!

[DENS973]

4x7 is not 21.....math fail.

[damncuteguy20]

a autistic is different from autistic savant

autistic savant are genius/gifted

after reading a book, its all on their mind.

and they repeat any words they hear whenever they are asked

[DeepeeMe]

You're not completely right. They don't repeat any words they hear. Take a look at Daniel Tammet. Then you'll see.

[Phenomenom666]

Thats a diferent story he's quite normal he's not Disabled like the rest of the savants :P

[DeepeeMe]

But it still shows that not all repeat every word they hear.

[paulflute]

i didn't see the twin on the left do anything except repeat the twin on the right. no calculation before the other spoke.

[Entropy56]

Why didn't they check the dates before they asked the questions?

[sparrow4689]

one thing that interest me, dose someone if date answers are correct? it seems to me that they have no idea what they are takling about.

[pancho8721]

if they are real journalists the check. If they don't add up they can the film.

[coeji]

they are super smart and super dumb haha:p nice combo

[redmeatheart]

it's graham coxen and spud from trainspotting.

[snevetsznarf1978]

@redmeatheart hahaha!

[redmeatheart]

@snevetsznarf1978 lol thank you

[patrickleydon]

Its the Blur boys!

Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are great with numbers :-)

[jess41887]

My cousin has autism and can do "calender calculations" but he can't do simple math either. He has a mild case of autism so he communicates and he told me that he sees calenders lined up one after another in his head so he's not actually calculating anything.

[therrydicule]

So... He have to see what he have to do "simple math" so show him. Take a bunch of pencil "1 pencil PLUS 1 pencil make 2 pencil...". This might work.

[casperboo2002]

neat and so interesting. its amazing how people can be a genius savant and not understand some simple concepts. my mistake was telling a very high functioning 5 year old with autim to slip his shoes on...he  literally tried to slip across the floor into his shoes!!

[sasukeistehsuck]

That's kind of amazing. I had no idea the separate branches of math were that distinct, where you can excel in calender counting but not simple calculations.

[Vikezupa]

If you go in a store and buy a shirt for $4.00 you're in Walmart

[gamer92392]

the guy on the right is acutally the guy that "rain man" is based on

[jagjagjag009]

its Kim peek Rain Man is based on. doenst look or sound lik him at all....

[gt5004life]

Kim Peek is 55 years old so it looks good.

[jagjagjag009]

i know he is 55. Its just they way Kim speeks on. Its mutch slower. Totaly diffren. He sounds more retarded. If thats something he developt during time, well could be. If you lisen carfull of what they say. His mother tryed to teach him what 4x7 is. He answer its 21. He could say what day she teach him but not the right answer. Kim peek would NEVER forgot a given answer.

I think its another savnt.

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

Dustin Hoffman took influence from this guy for his Rainman performance, its not who the film Rainman is based on.

[teamcrumb]

I favourited this last night to bookmark it for a better watch today. Hello young sir. Long time no speak. Though not long when you think of how long it could take to bump into one another on the old comments page. I've been watching far too much youtube lately. Meant to try and poke words out of you a while ago but its so easy to watch clips clips clips. I'm stuck at home with glandular fever (like a heavy car has been put on my head). Thankfully spring is doing its thing, hope u are well!

[FenriX123]

Dustin Hoffman took influence from kim peek, there are several videos about him on here

[inkey2]

well the one on the left just agrees with the one on the right all the time.....so he is just a total idiot

[leonlim20000]

exactly, the one on the left was mental challenge. he just follow the other guy.

[ranbonzy]

You would have done the same 'idiotic thing' (as you claimed) had you put on his shoes.

So shut up...

[inkey2]

I doubt we wear the same size shoes

[WizardOfHumor1989]

These people could have been Rain Man's cousins. They look like Dustin Hoffman in RAIN MAN. The first look-a-like has ECHOLALIA.

Savant #2: "That...would be..on a Monday!"

Savant #1: "On a Monday!"

[teamcrumb]

echolalia is a term that refers to baby speak, the first utterings of children. It has nothing to do with the idea of echoing a persons speech.

[teamcrumb]

not

[casperboo2002]

AH COME ON TEAMCRUMB! READ the rest of the definition before you post FACTS.

Echolalia is the repetition of vocalizations made by another person.

some people with autism, tourette's syndrom and those with other developmental disabilities will echo what they have heard a second ago, sometimes a day ago, sometimes all the time.....echolalia DOES NOT REFER TO BABY BABBLE!!!

[teamcrumb]

I already got told that. It actually means both I've since found out (If you think about it, the origins of a childs speech is achieved by echoing what others say). (My oxford english dictionary reckons so, so there you go). BTW when you are correcting people there is no need to enlarge your writing, doesn't that insinuate shouting? I feel no shame in getting something wrong, no reason to get gleeful outing someone's mistake.( I am a support coordinator for people with learning disabilites.)

[teamcrumb]

grr, you were right and i was wrong and now i have to walk the plank grr

[MiSSloveish]

10 mins in an hour? =|

4 x 7 = 21 ?

If they're getting all these questions wrong, how do we know they aren't getting the time/date/weathers wrong as well?

I know that it IS possible for people with Savant Autistic Syndrome to be extremely talented with numbers (and calculations). But these guys ...I don't think... have Savant Syndrome.

[WizardOfHumor1989]

7 times 3 equals 21. Not 7 times 4.

60 seconds are in a minute.

60 minutes are in an hour.

When you buy a shirt that costs 4 dollars, pay 10 dollars to the cashier at the desk, you get 6 dollars in change from the cashier at the desk, NOT 20 CENTS.

[ranbonzy]

Oh... those grade 4 questions fit you. You must be in grade 4!

[CarolinaLupin]

The point is that they can do really complex equations in one area, in this case calendar counting, without a second thought, although they don't know how they're doing them, it's just automatic. Yet, while they're doing these amazing calculations, they have no sense of simple reality or math, so they can calendar count, but they can't subtract or multiply simple numbers..it's a crazy paradox of disability and ability!

[MiSSloveish]

CarolinaLupin - ohhh..that makes sense!

I wish I could do the whole calendar counting thing...although being excellent at regular math would be more useful for me! lol

[CarolinaLupin]

Hahaha, same here! Math = Fail for me ;-)

[Thenigma000]

has anyone even checked to see if they are right?

OR

if this is might just be completely faked?

[faustianliszt]

I wonder if they took into account that every 400 years leap year is skipped?

[1stPlaceDirector]

That second savant that just repeats all the wrong answers is really a basketcase. The brain capacity of a parrot.

[GeneralSamov]

parrots are smart!

[bongmygong1991]

he has a savant trait of repeating what he hears, go research if you want...

[EncoreForRock]

the guy looks like alan sugar

[eeglfmv]

I read about them, and he on the left side got 40 in IQ and right side got 70

[johnnyreality]

Dude I can be like that second Savant, he just repeats like a parrot!

[TeenEarthNetwork]

LOL! When people ak me stuff like this, no matter what the real answer is, I just answer:

"Thursday!"! Usualy the person totally falls for it and walks away in amazement. It's hilarious!

[Velvet4U]

Exactly Right !!! I thought the exact same thing. He is probably a genius, and is just playing the ROLE of a savant. He wants to be like his older brother, by putting his head down, and sounding retarted.

[lab5105]

The IQs of those with Savant syndrome is generally below 70. I find that such abstruse skills demonstrate the spectrum of intelligence that exists in the mind as opposed to the singular (general) intelligence that is IQ.

The perception of brilliance should not be deterred by impoverished skills in one area. All areas of the brain do not function at the same levels.

[a280281]

get a suit on him and bring him down the casino

[freeroam1989]

my brother has maths savant its an incredible ability however disabling

[Velvet4U]

HAS math savant  or IS a math savant?

[Leticiafregoso]

IS a savant, HAS savantism.

[EverSaine]

err, autism?

[wisecracker03]

He knows what day a certain date is in the year 6087 but doesn't know how many minutes are in an hour and doesn't know what 4-10 =.

Not very impressive to me and not what I regard as exceptionally brilliant.

[Sizzlik]

hehe..sorry..i couldnt resist.. its 10-4=

you cant get -6 bucks back :P

Anyways...nice vid^^

[rudy4histo]

They can't tie their own shoes, idiot. They are autistic and unbelievable calculators, not Einsteins. It's a different form of brilliance.

I do like that you think people who don't know how minutes are in an hour are 'not EXCEPTIONALLY brilliant'

Those are some low standards for intelligence.

[wisecracker03]

Can you tie yours? Hopefully your ability to tie your own shoes is superior to your ability to make an intelligent comment.

As for low standards of intelligence perhaps you can come up with higher ones.

At the top of the list of higher standards should be the ability to make an intelligent reply to someone else's comments.

[user0011223344]

i don't know much about Savant Syndrome , but those 3 , beet up Three Stooges.

[user0011223344]

i don't know much about Savant Syndrome , but those 3 , beet up Three Stooges.

[Vikezupa]

I think my wifes a savant. She remembers every time I've made her mad, but keeps locking her keys in her car.

[oneznzeroz]

LOL!!! that's funny bro!

[gmp428]

hahahahahaha

[CorneliusFractogram]

LMAO

[latigresa777]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[dny8ayuro]

so they wrong ub simple fact? but the complicated things looks easy for them n they answer it correctly? that was amazing. sorry for the bad english..

[vincent21212]

Damn right you're sorry. You make these savants sound like geniuses with english like that. Go back to your country. Read up on English then come back and express yourself American style. I'm sick of these Mexicans taking over Youtube with grammar like that.

[dny8ayuro]

sorry, but anyway i'm not mexican.

[zakman70]

that iz amazing

[shirwa1991]

How many minutes in an hour..and he says 10 minutes

[vincel]

ya that's odd, i wonder why he said that

[Kimmy8240]

the boy without glasses just repeats what the boy with glasses just said.

[scottmontie]

Its called Echolalia- common for a savant when they don't fully understand whats going on.

[danydevil123]

isnt the savant on the left just repeating what the other guy says. is he supposed to also have the same ability as the one on the right. just beyond imagination how they can work such absurdly complicated things out yet not know the amount of seconds in a minute. my fave savant is either kim peek, Alonzo Clemons (the clay sculptor) or Stephen Wiltshire the human camera. also i have an ability like this. i am able to accuratly measure any temperature between 0-100 degrees to within 1 degree.

[bobsonny]

Oh, yeah, because we definitely believe that.

[johnaccardi]

I can tell that time to within 1 minute

[indigo321]

They are a pair of identical twins actually, with the same ability. A famous incident occurred when someone dropped a box full of matches on the floor. the matches fell out, and in that instant, both cryed out "111!" at the same time. and they were right - there were 111 matches. i have a book on them to back it up =] amazing, isnt it?

[Kbrown666]

20 cents xD

[dyerasyd]

interesting insight into the developmental divergence. Thanks for posting the vid.

[Shannonbarnesdr1]

he doesnt 'suffer'' hes just the way he is, disability is just part of diversity, its different thats all, im disabled and proud so is majority of us, we proud, we a race, a culture, a part of diversity, the only time we suffer is  at aythe hands of ignorant , intolerant siociety

[Dynamics18]

no, people suffer even by themselves with mental illness. i have ADHD. and let me tell you... i can definatly suffer. and ADHD is nothing compared to autism. but of course, some might, some might not suffer.

[Tigerbaseball1]

Newsflash, guys, in the video the guy answers "10 minutes" are in a typical hour. That answer was incorrect. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

Also, Next to the guy answering the questions, was a guy apparently simply repeating the answers stated by the first guy.

I wanted to point that out to anyone else who might watch the video and not only not notice, but also to anyone who skips the comment section.

[emarum]

you moron! that was the point exactly - he can't even figure out the simplest math nor the intervals what time concerns. that's what's makes it even more amazing.

[kimibling]

u dumb kunt didnt u watch i properly

[grgrgrgff]

is that henry kissinger?

[mebeingadumbass]

This link produces incorrect results.

[xl0stxboyx]

Actually I double checked the results on a different site and their answers were all correct: convertalot(dot)com/calendars.­html If you are going to claim results as incorrect, please site your sources

[zvuk]

LOL stupid people got fooled even in sixties, check the dates in todays stupid programs you nubs, youll notice they didnt guessed right single date, they told it all wrong.

google some "birth date calculator" and check the dates yourself. I hate when i see this stupidity on internet. cant you people see?!?!

[GodoftheGeeks]

Fyi their names are Charles and George. They are twins.

[canpokemanic]

wow thats really interesting that both DZ twins would aquire the autistic AND savant abilities. Generally the genetic link isn't as strong if the twins aren't identical. Plus the savent feature is soo rare its amazing that either of them aquired it.

[veerleke]

So, what if the calendar system will be changed in some couple of hundred or thousand of years because of some dictator/earth accelaration/muslim calendar/extinction of human race and hence the extinction of the concept "leap year". Huh, what about that ey ??? I wonder if you would ask dates in the past if they d take in acccount gregorian calendar years and shit like that...

[xl0stxboyx]

That's totally irrelevant, who cares about that right now u Canadian

[veerleke]

Wow honoured to be called a candian, thank you so much. I am not a candian, but wouldn't have minded being one.

Irrelevant you say.. to me it is relevant in a very complicated way that you probably cannot understand. So to you, it is irrelevant indeed.

[xl0stxboyx]

Learn to spell and write in proper grammar, if your writing in a way that others cannot understand it is more likely that you are stupid

[veerleke]

I am so extremely sorry [NOT] that i forgot the "a" in Canadian twice, but other than that, i can't see any major spelling or grammar mistakes that makes my text illegible to someone with an average IQ that is familiar with colloquial english. Counts you out then? Pity.

[xl0stxboyx]

I guess if you cannot pull out grammatical and spelling errors you wrote yourself then that makes you ignorant AND stupid. Check again. Also, nice double-checking your spelling before posting your latest comment [NOT]. Some people will just not admit their mistakes

[veerleke]

I did admit i made mistakes. Just not the kind of mistakes that make my message incomprehensible. Unless you are autistic? In that case i forgive you.

There might be mistakes in this message again. But if you don't even understand this message than i have to report a bot to YouTube i'm afraid.

[xl0stxboyx]

Well I guess I take back the ignorant part since you admit to SOME of your mistakes, but I still cannot rule out that you are in fact stupid. Who said anything about your message being "incomprehensible?" You were the one who first posited that silly idea, I said your comments were merely irrelevant. Your arguments are inane

[veerleke]

Correct me if i'm wrong (i'm sure you would) but wasn't it YOU who wrote: "..if your writing in a way that others cannot understand it is more likely that you are stupid". Incomprehensible means: not understandeable. You brought it up,mister.

By the way, isn't there a grammatical error in that quote of yours as well?

[xl0stxboyx]

Please read again; I start off with "That's totally irrelevant." You respond with "to me it is relevant in a very complicated way that you probably cannot understand." I'd like to place emphasis on your usage of "cannot understand." My response: "if your [sic] writing in a way that others cannot understand it is more likely that you are stupid." That is an example of a response to a statement. By the way, I am disappointed u didn't keep up with the spell checker

[OrmEmber]

x10, go take a nap. Now. Do it.

[jparnaldo]

watch again this clip if you are in the year. july 19, 132,470 and "WHAT DAY IS IT?" damn!!! can't you imagine that guys?

[arabicdude01]

wow thats amazing..

and really! how can he figure out those hell of hard questions and get those easy ones wrong! lol thats guy's a genius

[horreurinc]

quite interesting how he can handle real hard stuff, but can't count the 'easy' things

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

i love how the kid on the left just echoes everything back

[superdave31]

to be fair this could have been set up - but savants like this do exis in real life, with abilities like this

[mebeingadumbass]

Nothing too impressive... All the dates were July 19. This was likely filmed on July 19, and he has very simple modulo rules programmed into his brain, like: every 10,000 years = no shift, 1 yr = +1 day (except leap years), etc. Impressive given that he cannot do basic arithmetic, but a simple algorithm none the less.

[xl0stxboyx]

Actually his yrs are based on multiples of 10 - 6870, 9440, 92,860, 132,470; not the 10,000 year interval you postulate. Even so its not basic arithmetic, can u accurately predict the date 10 years from now? How about 20, 30 or 40? I doubt it, without checking a calendar calculator

[mebeingadumbass]

Who said "based" on 10,000 yrs? I postulated 2 modulo rules, big and small, many could be made in between. Here's 2 more: 2000yrs=0days and 400yrs=0days, so a problem like 92860 yrs is reduced to 60 yrs. Now it gets tricky because of the 100yr rule. Start with 20yrs=-3days,40yrs=-6days=+1da­y,60yrs=-2days,etc. BUT when crossing a 'no leap 100-year', then just -1 more day.

[mebeingadumbass]

So yes, I can tell you a Monday this year will be a Saturday 60 years from now.

By the way, the link you posted got todays day wrong.

[xl0stxboyx]

I checked your formulae and they make sense, but my response was to the statement: "10,000 yrs = no shift, 1 yr = +1 day (except leap yrs)" which is true; but that statement alone does not give us meaningful data to quickly solve for the dates in the video. Ur more recent statements clarify what you were getting at and make sense in solving the dates for the yrs provided

[xl0stxboyx]

For the old site I posted, one of the results I got back was wrong. Try this site: convertalot(dot)com/calendars.­html This should yield correct results and it additionally lays out all days + dates of the month and year in question

[chunders]

i think the bloke on the left is definately jumping on the bandwagon

[Kropotov]

omg Its Harry Poter

[shizzledizzle]

fuckin amazing

[pangeaaa]

but i in a hour its 60 min not 10.

[afg8155996]

that is what they wanted to show us they two boys are savant and stupid at the same time

[jonabank]

July 19th, year 92860... what the :D. I am impressed.

[JoulseyCupid]

omy God. I know all the easy math but not those dates and days!

[carlinha139]

uma bosta

[d2tb]

ah yes...the mystery of savantism

[sauceyboy]

that is fucked

[themuse1]

interesting how he can do insane math but not kindergarden math

[EvilEddtheRed]

You're fired.

[badfutureuk]

Hahahhahaa.

He really does look like Alan Sugar from the side.

[Dogg1980]

how many minutes in an hour... 10 minutes?? I'm thinking 60.

[Hellotheres]

the one on the left might well be faking it. hes just repeating the other guy instantly after.

[Tigerbaseball1]

Good work, Detective.
