CobaltB, it really doesn't sound too bad. I knew few people that dedicated their entire childhood to math and it did have very adverse effect on their social life as adults. One kid got a Phd. in math by the time he was 18. Two years later he was a reborn jewish hasidic. Another kid was about to finish his math major at 13. He was a very good friend of mine and I still like him a lot but he had many failures as an adult. So the bottom line is that kids should be allowed to be kids. Actually, competitive swimming was just another addiction but I "retired" by the time I was 14 years old. Amir
