I think those who can correctly answer the two questions I posed cannot 
generally be addicts, nutties, priests, or even "engineers." The mind 
itself isn't quite there compared to that of a healthy Modern Human 
(MH). In the case of "engineers" the mind might be there but the 
character is lacking. Cause instead of giving it a try to see if they 
can come up with the answer the _instant_ song was over they'd jump to 
look up information about it. I mean I bet within the same two seconds 
after song finished :)

That's what an "engineer" is. He knows it, I know it, his Mom knows it, 
and government knows it. Predictable little men who grew to be smart 
alecks. If you are a healthy MH you can make millions of dollars 
utilizing this same feature in them.

Ok, the answer. The structure, that is, the skeleton, is that of "I'll 
be there" song ("whenever you call me...I'll be there, whenever you need 
me...I'll be there"). I don't know the exact title of that song but you 
know what I mean. The flesh on this skeleton is all Stevie Wonder and no 
one else. And the skeleton has just tiny little warps here and there 
under the mighty pressure of Stevie's mind and talent placed on it.

I didn't know that "I'll be there" was done by this band. The singer's 
voice resembled it but much more than that the style and skeleton of the 
song was similar. And when I checked, sure enough this "Spinners" had 
made the "I'll be there" song some time earlier.

So back to the Analitical Compartments Of Brain (ACOB) in us, one can 
listen to this song and if not shortly, with a bit of struggling find 
the two components and separate them and identify them :-) Components 
that are totally forged together - totally combined. Musicians are 
masters of that and are always bringing skeleton from here and flesh 
from there to create new good enough songs to sell. Even excellent ones 
like the above (in my opinion).

Some of Bob Dylan's most famous songs are really the same song. Same 
skeleton but with a bit of warp here and there and a little trimming of 
the flesh here and there and a totally different lyric applied to it. 
And as successful as what its predecessors were before!

There are of course other ways to measure analytical power in people, 
especially students. I attended one of the top two high schools of Iran. 
Well, the last four years of it anyway. In that school each class had 4 
different levels of aptitude divided into 4 different classes (so 
teachers' efforts could be applied better and longer to weaker students 
while saving time on sharp top students). Do you know how they'd decided 
to place which student inside which of the four classes? :) All they 
needed to do was to take a foreign language test from them. English. 
They divided students into four levels according to their English test 
scores and it worked perfectly well for _any_ subject they taught in 
that school. A student who was level "D" (lowest) in English was also at 
that level in geometry or history. ACOB rules!

In that amazing school, at the end of the school year the students from 
different levels were more or less educated to the same level of 
competency and knowledge! This wonderful system spent most of its time 
and money to help those who needed more careful teacher attention and 
effort. They always caught up with us (I was always in level A, of 
course - Hehe ) and next year the division would show a lot of changes 
where some of us had gone down to other levels (mostly problems at home 
and family) and many of the lower levels had placed themselves sitting 
next to us :-) This was the wonder, the service, which that excellent 
school was providing for Iranian more or less well doing families. It 
was damn expensive. But it was worth it. And the tool for recognizing 
and measuring the analytical ability for them was nothing but the 
strength in understanding a foreign language. Even inside each level, 
best students were placed at the end of the classroom and weaker ones in 
the front so teacher could have more control on them and observe them 
better. We cursed each other, "Go sit at the front you motherfucker", 
etc. Or, "You dumb ass should give this sit to ME and go sit at the front."

Another technique they used that I remember was that when teacher sensed 
that a student is weak in some subject and keeps getting low grades, he 
would make him teach parts of that subject to the lower level classes in 
the after hours sessions. Teaching a subject that you don't quite have 
enough knowledge about does wonders. It magically forces you to learn 
everything about it that you don't know. But I'm digressing now. It was 
an excellent school the likes of which perhaps there are 5 or 6 and 
that's it. "Eton" comes to my mind. They knew what they were doing and 
their choice of a way to place students at different levels was not just 
some wacky experiment.

More later.
