Subject: Forgot to bring up the other day...
So Moira and Hank had me going through a regimen of mental tests to try and narrow down the specifics of my power, and I figured you might be interested given that your facility with languages is another rather unique and similar cerebral ability. I was reminded of it when Wanda reminded me of P vs NP, which I think on a subconscious level your brain has actually provided a P=NP solution for.
How good are you at games like Tic-Tac-Toe and go?

Date: 2007-03-07 12:11 am (UTC)I suggested to Hank that your linguistics ability and the level of pattern|set recognition you display is on the level of NP problems, those that increase exponentially in difficulty with an expanded data set. Traveling Salesman theory, and all that. Which got me thinking - how well does that work with deductive analysis of complex data points? I mean, I've seen you do the thing with reading body language - but I can still give you your money's worth at ping-pong.
If I gave you a set of seemingly random actions, do you think you could construct a likely rationale and goal from them?
