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

What would you say is the cleverest thing you understand (e.g. advanced maths concept) or the cleverest thing you know how to do? (e.g. building something or playing an instrument)?

Calculus.

I can build/use/do lots of things, I don't consider being able to do these things clever though as I can do them!

Make triangles out of empty crisp packets. mastered it over the years.

Genetic engineering - expressing foreign genes in transformed organisms.

Common sense.

Apparently no one else in existence seems to use it. :cool:

I love my life...

Difficult to say really as obviously every thing i can do i find easy but it would either be something from my maths degree like partial differential equations or something relating to the
aircraft i work with.

I can perform advanced rocket surgery :cool:

I can probably take out an appendix

Reconstruct and interperet historical landscapes (c.250,000 bp to present) using using micromorphological techniques in conjunction will pollen analysis, dendrachronology and GIS modelling.

Look at landscapes using pollen?

I reckon I could put it back in.

Yes.

Identifying fossilised pollen grains preserved in peat and sediment cores to reconsruct vegetation cover at a particular point in time in a particular location. Very powerful technique for reconstructing historical landscapes.

Oh I can also reconstruct temporal frameworks for stratigraphic sequences using tehprachronology.

Sounds impressive, if not pointless
