  I you wanna understand 'intuition', it works when figuring out an answer to timeless truths that are true so by NECESITIES but not CONTINGENCIES or aposteriori knowledge. To get all of the aposteriori knowledge, we do so via a kinda perception, either ordinary or extrasensory.

  What made Euclid form the postulates of Euclidean geometry is a good example of intuition. We know intuitively that there is but only one line passing through a given point that is parallel to a given line. It isn't an extrasensory perception. It is just common sensical perception. It might be correct to say that while in extrasensory perception, you can use your intuition but it isn't correct to equate intuition to a mere extrasensory perception. A boy just merely visualising an answer isn't using intuition at all. It is just clairvoyance and ESP. In case he thus understand Phythagorean relationship, then that would be intuition at work.

  Yes but it isn't necesarily intuition that is at work in such. It might be extrasensory perception. Or what I may term intrasensory perception. The guy just perceives their autonomic nervous system that is known to happen.
  
  The case with perceiving the health of others isn't the same as calculation at all. In the latter, one can tap his own brain. In the former, there absolutely has to be an interconnecting thing that I may term it as 'biofields'. I don't think scientists are yet to swallow this.

    I´m not really sure how intuition really works,  seems to me it involves a lot of extra sensory perception.  Medical intuition does seem to be about connecting to the other persons energy body, or their higher self or their life force.  Numbers have their own energy field as well and in this sense I would call them alive.  The reason I say intuition is that intuition knows the future and it will give the answers to things....then we have to work this back logically to understand why the answer is correct..

  The boy says that he just visualizes the answer. He gets some images.

    Yes, this is what I call a math intuitive.  Just like there are medical intuitives who can know others health problems without examining them, there seem to be people who can know math answers without calculation.  I wonder how many other kinds of things we can do like this...

  I saw something about this on the TV some months back.  One fellow was autistic and he couldn´t speak to or look at anyone,,,but he had memorized hundreds of pieces of music the first time he read them....and he played them on the piano with excellence.

  There were 2 fellows who were ´´mental calculators´´...for math.  This seemed to be an intuitive skill for they don´t think about this and the results are instant.  If they want to square a 14 digit number then the result comes instantly..  And here it got interesting.  The scientists hooked up their brains to see which part was working during this,,,,,and they discovered that the 2 fellows used different parts of their brain for this..

  Thanks alot, winger, yes the boy can be termed 'autistic servant'. I had never heard of that name nor of such people. I was just told by someone of a boy in the news. Such abilities are amazing, unbeleivable!
