math genius is only a little above average IQ probably..nothing spectacular or genius like about his alleged flawless performance on high school math tests..speaks with more desire than truth in his comment. perhaps he should sleep a little later….it’s much easier on your constitution

being a genius means living in another world from the ordinary fellows down at the five and dime throwing darts at a wall. abilities rarely found in other mere mortals who can only guess at a genius’ mystifying mind creations. i guess it would be safe to say that a genius reaches that threshold of invincibility where no one can touch them or replace them for their unique abilities. WHERE would we be without the man who invented a musical instrument called the guitar? who knows, seemingly a special person exists who brings the world a genius of love; a genius of art; genius of math; and so on. they are true people with special abilties. perhaps their brains are simply more active in certain areas than others. maybe their minds process information extremely fast. maybe their world seems highly mathematical in nature. I don’t know about all these things, but i do know that a man can be a genius and that people should admire them for thier accomplishments.
