Sure, Number Man can calculate and measure all sorts of things in the blink of an eye, but that isn't what actual mathematicians do all day. Can Number Man solve all the world's math problems?
Can Number Man confirm that P=NP or prove that P is not equal to NP? Can Number Man prove or disprove that wild knots always have infinitely many quadrisecants? Can Number Man help us confirm the transcendentality of pi to the power of pi? Number Man should also be able to just brute force the answer to finding the 784th Ramsey Number, or the median digit of TREE(3), right?
Is Number Man's mathematics really focused on math? Surely he has to know a lot of physics too. And his statements about finding weakpoints demonstrate an understanding of biology too. Obviously he also knows economics. But what about chemistry? Cna Number Man reproduce any chemical reaction with the right ingrediants? Can he draw a ball and stick diagram of the exact protein necessary to cure any disease? Is his physics good enough to solve the black hole information paradox, merge quantum physics and gravity into string theory, or name the location of all possible planets that support life in the Virgo supercluster?
