Dutch voting machines hacked to

ten years to develop expertise in any of a wide
variety of areas, including chess playing, music
composition...and research in neuropsychology
and topology. There appear to be no real shortcuts:
even Mozart, who was a musical prodigy at age
4, took 13 more years before he began to produce
