Wow, a grown man can do what little children can do. I'm impressed.

@foshizzlefizzle I bet you didn't also memorize the exact dates of the admission to the union as well. Getting the state capitols with the states is relatively easy. Dates to the union are much harder. He could also tell you the zip code and area code for any town in the USA, and could also tell you what highway went through a town.

@StefanPochmann You would need to talk to his father. I think they determined this when they did some of the testing on his abilities and disabilities.

1. That's not what he got applause for here.

2. I know he claimed that. Please show me where he proved it.
