Re: [math-fun] N-athlon proposal and the Rain Man

VE: "I clearly recall that when he was counting the number of spilled matches on the floor he verbalized 62,62,62,62 … 248 (please correct me if I got the numbers wrong)." From quotegeek: Raymond: 82, 82, 82. Charlie: 82 what? Raymond: Toothpicks. Charlie: There’s a lot more than 82 toothpicks, Ray. Raymond: 246 total. Charlie: How many? Sally Dibbs: 250. Charlie: Pretty close. Sally Dibbs: There’s four left in the box. I have to say, it was this part more than anything else in the movie that ruined for me the credibility of the Raymond Babbitt character.
