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

I can explain density functional theory (an advanced physics methodology used to simulate quantum mechanics). I can explain and teach quantum mechanics to undergraduatge level. I am also proficient in programming for massively parallel supercomputers as well as being able to efficiently utilise advanced scientific programmes and understand the physical meaning behind the results.
 
"I know the minutiae of Canadian Tax reporting for Trust, Patrnerships, and Corporations, covering such things as T5, T3, and T5013 reporting, I'm also an expert in Canadian NR4 reporting, and Part XIII witholding Tax for Non Residents.
I have have a indepth knowledge of the US Qualified Intermediary scheme, and it application. In addition im very well versed in 1444 regulations, and the IRS code of practice
Finally, im also an expert in Global withholding taxes and Double taxation treaties and the application of Multilateral tax legislation

Bored yet? I am"
 
Motherboard-level laptop repair and SMD replacement (if I have the proper tools of course).

Endless amounts of cash are available for people that can revive a dead laptop for £50, rather than the owner having to spend £300 on a new one.
 
Just a few from a very very long list... :)

1. I can do computational modelling of subsea pipelines/risers/structures/etc
2. Once completed Streetfighter II Champion Edition in the arcade with a pound
3. Completely gutted and renovated a house with the wife doing everything except gas pipes and plastering
4. Building (slowly) a toy car...

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

1: It's a Westfield, not a Caterham.
2: No, I built it - including building the ECU and building the engine.

Do Wimpy build houses or do they assemble them?
 
I can cook a three course dinner for thirty people to an exceptionally high standard, by my lonesome. I know how to play guitar with Tommy Emmanuel and Frank Vignola, because I have done it before. :p

Pretty impressive, wait you're not a chef are you?

Not really, but I do get paid to cook. My family run a farm/B+B/wedding venue, and lots of food is cooked and served to guests. I absolutely love food, and cooking and ended up getting lots of opportunity to do it for paying guests, which necessitated a high standard, and gave me lots of opportunity to hone my skills. But I have never had any training.
 
I can click my tongue exceptionally loudly, it sounds a bit like a campagne cork being popped but slightly higher pitched. Usually results in a few turning heads, to which I'll just shrug and say I have a powerful tongue, accompanied by a twitch of the eyebrows and a knowing smile.

I have a very good sense of time and can often guess the time to within about ~10% accuracy (even indoors with no aids such as position of the sun). i.e. say I look at a clock at 12:00, at 14:00 (120mins later) I will be able to guess the time within a ~12min window.

In terms of technical stuff it is hard to pinpoint anything. I'm fairly good at DOS/Windows batch file scripting to automate processes I suppose.
I am reasonably well educated but have forgotten most of the clever stuff.

Macro program on a Fanuc control, competent at coding on the machine but can turn my hand to oneCNC and convert a 3D drawing into a part.

I can fix the machine the thing when it breaks too :)

I used to be fairly fluent in Fanuc, but switched to CMM rather than CNC so I can inspect whatever you're program creates, either from 3d model or drawing, I now can program in 5 different languages.
