I don’t think I’m particularly clever, but people always seem to think of me as a sort of world expert on things related to intelligence.
That someone the other day was calling(? or telling) me and start to talk to me about string theory ????? that I must finally find out what that is one of these days. (not sure about the last part, he has odd accent for me).

The thing about memory competitions is that [the] standards [keep getting higher and higher every year; the scores get much higher with every competition and so, you know, the scores] I won with in 2004, I doubt it to I'd finish in [the] top ten [; it's that big a change.]
