I'm terrible at math--those two trains traveling in opposite directions at different speeds, times & whatever, questions always "got" me. But I always excelled at music and like most forms. My good friend who was our combo's leader, is a "whiz" at math--can multiply five digit numbers in his head and always gets the train thing--but has a Van Gogh ear for music and is generally terrible at playing the trumpet (and getting enough gigs). I personally do not think there is much credable relation between I.Q. or advanced mathmatical skills and the creative arts. Some people just seem to "have it all" and others "have nothing at all". What we like and can do well is all just a result of ones genetic inheritance and how a persons brain develops.
