Kim Peek

Kim Peek, a savant who was the inspiration for the Rain Man movie, could read both pages of an open book at once, one page with one eye and the other page with the other eye. When he managed the payrolls of 160 people at a company, he was able to complete this task in just hours without a calculator, and when he was fired to be replaced by a computer, it took two full-time accountants plus the computer just to replace him.
