 Thomas Fuller, an African sold into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14, was sometimes known as the “Virginia Calculator” for his extraordinary ability to solve complex math problems in his head.

Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched. The African History
