Eh, Billy je najnesretnije potraćeni genij koje je čovječanstvo ikad iznjedrilo... :P
Veći IQ obično implicira bolje pamćenje, no obrat ne mora vrijediti:

Citat:
According to Peek's father, Fran, Peek was able to memorize things from the age of 16-20 months. He read books, memorized them, and then placed them upside down on the shelf to show that he had finished reading them, a practice he still maintains. He reads a book in about an hour and remembers approximately 98% of everything he has read, memorizing vast amounts of information in subjects ranging from history and literature, geography, and numbers, to sports, music, and dates. He can recall some 12,000 books from memory. Peek can also do formidable calculations in his head, a skill that serves him well in his day job, where he prepares payroll worksheets. He has worked at a day workshop for adults with disabilities since 1969.
Peek did not walk until the age of four and still walks in a sidelong manner. He cannot button up his shirt and has difficulty with other ordinary motor skills, presumably due to his damaged cerebellum, which normally coordinates motor activities. In psychological testing, Peek has scored well below average on general IQ tests; however he has scored very highly in some subtests.
Citat:
In the UK a documentary was aired on Channel 5 on February 27, 2006, as part of their Extraordinary People TV series, subtitled "The Real Rain Man". The television program showed Kim Peek reading a book and his father said that he reads the left page of an open book with his left eye and the right page with his right eye. His father also said that he cannot do deductive mathematics.
Ja obožavam na Rainmana uputiti sve koji mi počnu tvrditi kako je netko tko zna gomilu beznačajnih podataka "genije", a da pri tome nije demonstrirao nikakve sposobnosti koreliranja fakta i sinteze novog, korisnog sadržaja.
