You have impressed us long enough with your fascinating ability to

Quiz: How would the number 14,641 be slightly noteworthy in this
context?

It would be significant to 11-fingered aliens, I suppose. Maybe TB is
one and he will *stop* then?

If you want to see a more positive result of an autistic person being a
savant, there's this chap Stephen Wiltshire who does the most amazing
drawings. In the meantime, just let Tim have his fun. No-one's managed to
persuade him to stop yet so good luck to him - innit!
