Best stuff that got left out of the article: Byster lives in Skokie, where he grew up, with his wife and son. (He's been married 4,834 days, but who's counting?) He says it worries him that people expect 7 year old Joshua to be exactly him. And, Byster says, while Joshua did master the talking globe at age five and now can identify every country on the map, "he has no interest, no particular natural ability, in math." He also reports that whenever he tries to teach his wife about math, she ends up in tears.
