Math genius, rejects million dollar prize, lives with mom

dude probably got pissed about the politics involved in higher education

at his age when he published this stuff no one would give him any respect at all. it looked like he gave some talks but only published a couple of things = you’re nobody in higher education

now they want to exploit him, forget about it

Id call him gay

fuck ya! math! word up. stay cool dudes!

He’d kill you with his Russian stare.

I just read the first page… but I’m guessing most of these guys commenting never even took Calc 1 and this guy took Calc 1 and all the others and made it his bitch :rofl:

You realize his reasoning is similar to SRK’s for NOT wanting to join MLG right? MLG would pay out a shit ton of money but we told them to go fuck themselves because of last time. Almost the same situation except this guy can probably solve anything you give to him. We just hit a bunch of buttons and play mind games with pixels and blocks on a screen. I’d think that if he wanted money, all he’d have to do is say “Hey, let me do this for you” at a company and he’d get paid.

Edit: I’m not sayin SRK is stupid or dumb with numbers but seriously, calling him stupid because he turned down money is dumb. Some people are happy with their lives.

i heard this guy has a girl named Cigar and he calls her that because she’s Cuban.

any confirm?

My maaath moooneeeeeey!

For them, it was an answer worthy of a million dollars. For him, it was tuesday.

he has a point. there are many in academia who want to exploit talented and gifted people, to ends that are less than noble. he solved it for love/fascination of the sciences, but is unwilling to compromise his beliefs/integrity.

he may be poor and in squalor, but at least he has his soul.

Clearly this guy is selling 'shrooms on the side for dat scrilla, so of course he does not need money from an institution trying to cut into his game.

imo.

im 40% Russian so I dont think that would work

this dude didn’t take the money because you can’t do shit with 1 million dollars now-a-days.

I am 101%…it does work

except for you could probably buy Russia for a million dollars.

You could buy the Los Angeles Clippers for $1 million.

bet you I could have bought his mom if I won a million dollars

if that was the case, im sure many of the trillionaire russian oil barons would have done that already

You kidding? Have you heard of Vladimir Putin? The man is a super hero. Or super villain. Or whatever. But that bastard has super powers. He can and will stop anyone with the help of Zangief from taking “Mother Russia” in any form.

Not to mention the documentary I once saw, of Lenin’s corpse reanimating itself and laying siege to all who oppose him.

I’m pretty sure it was a documentary, anyway.

so… proof you can be a genius and a retard at the same time?
