Attack turns man into maths genius

World Update

Available for over a year

Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett was savagely beaten outside a bar in the US. The attack left him concussed, and with post-traumatic stress disorder; but it also changed the way his brain works, turning him into a mathematical genius who sees the world as geometry.
