@uskoolfish - Kind of off-topic on my part, but I know of a similar situation at an interview at Brandeis. An applicant mentioned he had loved history since he was young and had memorized all the presidents in order when he was in first grade. The interviewer said, “Let’s hear the list!” So the applicant trotted out the full list, and the two of them laughed together. It broke the ice and made the rest of the interview really fun. I guess they enjoy seeing the ‘proof’ at Brandeis!
