Old page wikitext, before the edit (old_wikitext ) | ''''Thomas Fuller''' (1710 – December 1782), also known as "''Negro Tom''" and the "''Virginia Calculator''", was an [[Slavery|enslaved]] African renowned for his mathematical abilities.<ref name="rouse_ball_1960">[[W. W. Rouse Ball]] (1960) ''Calculating Prodigies'', in Mathematical Recreations and Essays, Macmillan, New York, chapter 13.</ref>
==History==
Born in [[Africa]] somewhere between present-day [[Liberia]] and [[Benin]], Fuller was enslaved and shipped to America in 1724 at the age of 14, eventually becoming the legal property of Presley and Elizabeth Cox of [[Alexandria, Virginia]]. Both Fuller and the Coxes were illiterate. The Coxes owned 16 slaves, and appeared to value Fuller the most; he expressed gratitude for not being sold.<ref>"[http://www.csmonitor.com/1980/0212/021207.html/(page)/3 A wizard in any age]" ''Christian Science Monitor'', February 12, 1980</ref>
Stories of his abilities abounded through the [[East Coast of the United States|Eastern seaboard]]. His skill was even used as proof that enslaved Blacks were equal to whites in intelligence, which fueled some pro-[[Abolitionism in the United States|abolitionist]] discussion.
==Documentation of abilities==
When Fuller was about 70 years old, William Hartshorne and Samuel Coates of [[Pennsylvania]] were in Alexandria and, having heard of Fuller's powers, sent for him. They asked him two questions which satisfied their curiosity.
First, when they asked him how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000. Second, when they asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800. One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de [[leap year]]." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.<ref>American Museum, Vol.V, 62, Phila., 1799</ref>
Despite Fuller's perfect answers, it appeared to Hartshorne and Coates that his mental abilities must have once been greater. They wrote:
:He was gray-headed, and exhibited several other marks of the weakness of old age. He had worked hard upon a farm during the whole of life but had never been intemperate in the use of spirituous liquors. He spoke with great respect of his mistress, and mentioned in a particular manner his obligations to her for refusing to sell him, which she had been tempted to by offers of large sums of money from several persons.
:One of the gentlemen, Mr. Coates, having remarked in his presence that it was a pity he had not an education equal to his genius, he said, "No, [[Master (form of address)|Massa]], it is best I had no learning, for many learned men be great fools."

The information above is in correct
70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, ≠ 2,210,500,800.
but = to '''[70(365x24h+6h)+(17x24h)+ 12]60²= 2 210 544 000'''
Note this is only correct for 70 years, 17 days = 2,210,500,800.
check this '''[70(365x24h+6h)+(17x24h)]60²= 2 210 500 800'''
note 70 years multiply by (356 days in a year multiply by 24 hours of a day plus 6 hour for leap year as it is a 1/4 day) then + 17 days multiply by 24 hours of a day + 12 hours all multiplied by 60 minutes x 60 seconds.
