re: Mental Math Genius Claims Humans Are Being Taught Math Incorrectly

My post didn't even dig below the surface. Some of the stuff this guy is doing is, well...fascintating isn't a strong enough word.

For example, he's discovered a calendar system where if you quickly say a random date like August 14, 1952, he will immediately tell you which day of the week that day fell on.

He can do this because he's recreated the human calendar. Instead of using a flawed 12 month calendar system (Gregorian Calendar) where months have differing amounts of days, he uses a 13 month system (like the Mayans) where each month has 28 days (a perfect number, btw). The calendar year adds up to 364 days which means that he's missing one day.

The groundbreaking part is that he's solved that riddle with the number zero to make it a perfect system.
