What's the cleverest thing you understand or know how to do?

Genetically engineer bacteria which can metabolise new carbon sources or are immune to specific antibiotics.

Can also correctly diagnose numerous different types of cancer and can even make most of the none antibody based chemotherapy treatments to go with them due to my old career.

My Mrs does that too, I think. She's a respitory physiologist.

How does flying in a simulator compare? I don't mean in terms of the actual experience, but in terms of what you learn. If somebody had spent dozens of hours in a sim would it be relatively easy for them to jump into a light aircraft and just get on with it?

Yes and no. On a sim, you can practice proceedures and checklists, etc. But there are many things a sim can't teach you or replicate properly, like flying with reference to external visual fixes (horizon, etc), keeping a good lookut for other small aircraft, flying by the seat of you pants and not having your eyes glued to the instruments. A sim might give you a small head start in knowledge, but you'd have picked up a few bad habits at the same time.

Which is a caterham, so infact you didn't build it you assembled it.

Which isn't a Caterham as they have aluminium bodies that come pre-fixed to the chassis.

Having built 2 Caterhams I will agree that they are far simpler to put together than most 'build it yourself' projects, but still great fun !
 
I know Java and I can fly light aircraft. (Just noticed someone else in the thread has an FAA single/multi licence, I have a JAR PPL(A) with SEP (single engine) rating).

Another one, didn't know there was so many of us here!

I went for the NPPL with SSEA and SLMG ratings. I fly gliders too.

But the cleverest thing I can do is:

I can make a chicken out of a tea towel :)

Oh, I'm also fluent in VB.NET, along with other languages such as html, php, css, although I'm not very fluent with the latter languages.
