Well, after all, one does need to /earn/ the title of visionary...
However, you've provided nice closure to some childhood trauma:
I've no math skills, while my brother who is 5 years my senior has an
excess of them. When I was quite young -- maybe 4? -- he taught me to
participate in a parlor trick where I would demonstrate astonishing
arithmetic skills. He would feed me a series of numbers and operations
(4 + 3 * 2 - 2 +...) and I'd say the final answer and it was always
correct. The gimmick was that by pre-arrangement he said he would say
the final answer early on, in a particular place in the sequence, and
then he'd make the computation wander around until it came back to that
number.
Friends and family were amazed. Except our mother, who knew I wasn't
that bright.
I guess now you've discerned that she was wrong.
