I could do the decimal one it is not very hard. I am only 15. The 34^4 would be pretty hard though. and easier way to do and what I imagine he did was take 40x34 every time and just subtract 204 because 40x34=34x34+204 and he could just do that 4 times and get the answer. It would take me a little while but I could do it. The date thing he can do though is quite amazing. I am in all regular class's in school and I am around a 1.6-1.8 GPA but Mental Math is a very strong point of mine.

what he has basically came from a single mutated gene.Just like mutated genes branched us humans off from monkey's evolutionary tree.mutations basically happen in living things,including humans,when there is a need to adopt to nature.therefore,if present day humans keep push themselves trying to study complex math or arithmetics,it's more than likely for future generations to have similar brains like this guy's!!

No, it doesn't. If we did we'd hear a lot more about it, obviously.

Well i in every 150 kids are autistic....and a percent of that 100 are savants. Many Asperger's cases are never diagnosed....and not ever savant is a numbers savant.
