Mental math. When I was a kid I could answer math problems faster than they could be punched into a calculator which was a neat party trick I guess. I can still do that but I also understand more advanced math. i.e calculating roots, fermi questions, calculus etc. Back when I was being assessed for ADHD, one of the things that was tested is mental arithmatic. Less than one out of a thousand of my peers can do what I did there. (they couldnt find an upper limit) So there's less than a 10% chance that any of those 99 random people could beat me in a test of mental math.
