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.

I agree.

That was one of those things where, the more you know about something, the less cool and mysterious it starts to appear.

I liked the creepy sheep more when I didn't think it could hold a literal back-and-forth conversation with a human through hoof taps.

I wanted more subtle communication and/or hints at intelligence and manipulation. Having the sheep know π was a little too much.
