I don't know about that but they are damned good at arithmetic.
For example say If I go though a checkout and my bill comes to $12.61, I like to avoid getting a lot of small change in my pocket, so if I have it, I will hand over 13 dollars in bills and a dime and a penny, so that I can get 2 quarters back.
Nine times out of then if it's some American kid they will just give me a blank "WTF"? stare. Often they will give me 39 cents in change and then give me back my 11 cents. It just blows their minds.
However if I do this at the Chinese Restaurant they instantly understand and hand me 2 quarters.
