Seamus, isn't it weird & wonderful how the feeling for something comes? When someone will ask "how do you know?" or "how did you do that?", it's impossible to put into words how you did it, isn't it? In graphing, I could often 'see' answers but then had to apply the math to show the proof. Something about prime numbers gives me a feel to them too. I can often decide when given a large number whether it's prime or not.

When I sing, I often make up my own melodies & nonsense words, or silly phrases. I'll often sing songs I love, but I'm more likely to 'compose' as I go along. I so wish I knew how to write music as some of my compositions I really enjoy & would like to remember them again. Oh, well.

Okay, chaos theory is beyond me. I read about it but that's about all. Saying I understand much of what I read would be a lie. Same with game theory. Couldn't you apply game theory to stock markets too?
Seamus, do you get a feel about inanimate objects whether they're male or female? I do about some things like cutlery or other small objects. For example, a knife is male but spoons are female to me - same with numbers, some are male, some female.
