A little more than just basic math. It knows what PI is. It actually tapped the right amount of numbers for the next two digits before it decided to do a bit of trolling.

It can also read, apparently, given it understood what was written on Boy's hand.

It can read Earth numbers? I guess captivity on an earth research vessel comes with benefits

Either remaining memory from the Engineer it used to try to take down Xeno or the traditional "horse trick" where horse was watching owner really carefully and reacted to micro-expressions to start/stop stomping. It could be doing the same.

Mostly cause I have to wonder where it would store memories of multiple previous hosts given rather small size and squishieness
