True. I don't remember who the young math prodigy was, I think he was also diagnosed mildly autistic, but someone read him a very long string of Pi digits and deliberately misstated one deep into the series. The prodigy caught it because "it was the wrong color" to him.

I also don't remember if he explained it like all Pi digits had a single color or whether it was some kind of coordinated series of colors that the wrong one stood out to him, like an off note in a well-known song would be caught by any one of us.
