Pretty neat stuff.
"Daniel claims that since the age of four, he has been able to do huge
mathematical calculations in his head. So the makers of this documentary put
him to the test, asking him to calculate 37 raised to the power of 4. He
completed this in less than a minute, giving the correct answer of
1,874,161"
"Next he was asked to divide 13 by 97. This time the researchers had the
answer to 32 decimal places"
"He is very gifted with words and speaks nine languages and claims to be
able to learn a new one in just seven days."
"Daniel had his own surprise, in Oxford, England, he would recite the number
Pi to 22,500 decimal places, in public in front of a team of invigilators to
verify his accuracy"

Also,
"Kim has a double photographic memory and can recall everything he has ever
read. He speed reads by scanning opposing pages at the same time, one page
with each eye. "
"Orlando Serrill was just 10 years old when he was hit, hard, on the side of
the head by a baseball. Since when, he has been able to recall the day, date
and weather of every day since the accident. "
