lol.
someone sat around and listened to him accomplish this?
or...once you figure out powers of 10, the sky's the limit? if i were the reporter, i'd have gone with a trillion which is more newsworthy at the moment.
he's obviously a bright kid that tests well on the kind of intelligence that's testable. but comparing that kind of intelligence to einstein is suggesting that someone who can name the most colors is the best artist.
i feel bad for him. his parents must have called the paper or at least ok'd the article. intellectual stage parents.
he can't help but disappoint.

"if you can count from 1 to 100 in one minute, and you keep counting every minute, without stopping, for eight hours every day (taking time off to eat, sleep, and go to school), you would reach 1,000,000 in 20 days, 6 hours, and 40 minutes, or almost 3 weeks."
i looked it up, as i remember once reading about a math teacher and his class studying how long it would take to right it out. one of his kids used a computer program to put it on paper...
