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.

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?

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.
