a more in-depth and insightful article which may explain his behavior. he’s not as crazy as some make him out to be. in some ways, it’s reminiscent of what happened to Rosalind Franklin. frankly, i can understand why he would turn down the accolade. it doesn’t mean i necessarily condone it, but i understand.
I always find this kind of thing interesting. Here you have a mind capable of solving the most difficult of known problems yet he probably couldn’t catch a beach ball without fumbling about or even hold a conversation for 5 minutes with someone his own age.
At least his talent didn’t go to complete waste, his genius was unrecognized. With all that money he could have created better living conditions for him, his mom, his sister and the roaches that toss him beach balls.
Man just look at his face. Clearly this dude does not give a fuck. However, I wonder if he has at tasted the vagine at least once. Those juices can change a mans life.
He could have at least given the money to his impoverished mother, the selfish prick. :bluu:
Dude looks like Rasputin the Mad Monk.
He’s smart enough to know that money is the root of all evil.

PS I’m a dumb ass. GIMME THE LOOT! GIMME THE LOOT!
lol @ the past 4 post.
No doubt about it, this dude is fuckin up.
Woaaah, definitely not. Someone offered the Clippers owner 1 BILLION dollars in the early 2000s and he rejected it. I know what you were trying to get at but the Clippers, no matter how bad they are they still making some money by being in Los Angeles.
I wonder if his mom knows that he rejected the money. I personally want to see that fine piece of ass
that million dollars probably had a ball and chain on the end of it
i’m still mad! :mad:
cash rules everything around me so im going to avoid taking this free mirrion dorrars
This is the difference between people who live in the western world, and people who… don’t.
Money doesn’t equate to their happiness.
Whenever I have studied my butt off in the past to get A’s on my calculus exams, the feeling was really good. It damn near put me on a high. Made me feel like nothing could match this feeling of accomplishment and triumph.
Anyway, can anybody confirm this, my Calc 2 professor was recently telling us about some study that was conducted, it stated that people who score the highest on Bar Exams are those who have a background of calculus in their course history.
Also another study, for each Calculus based course you take, you will in the future add an average of like $5,000.00 to your salary per year.
He could of at least taken the money and donated it to charity then go back to living his dull ass life. Or taken the money and give it to someone who wants it.
He gets 0 kudos from me. None what so ever. :nono:
Millionaire math challenge certainly doesn’t have the same ring to it as Millionaire Fighting Challenge.
I’m glad I had an instructor who liked to ramble about these problems so I can appreciate to some small degree how difficult this is.
Yeah fuck math. Who needs stable and well-constructed bridges. Who needs geometrically sound houses that dont fall apart like shit.
Math is shit. Who the fuck needs the internet and computers. Fuck math, who needs to know voltage and shit to properly distribute electricity to everyone.
I feel you dawg.
I wish my land lord would reject our rent.
Im looking for some friends, and they dont have to be mathematicians.- Perelman
He already rejected a million, so there you go.
I wish I was smart enough just to understand those 7 problems.
you realized that you suck at math, that is different from “math sucking”. while i agree that most math is irrelevant to most people, its pretty much the corner stone for every technological advance ever invented. but i can use a computer without understanding the mathematics behind it, so math is “irrelevant” in that sense, but it doesnt suck.
i’m not sure how i feel about this guy. lets be real here, with his level of intelligence, he could easily land a job anywhere in the world making mad money for free. 1 million dollars is chump change to him.
on the other hand, something is just not right with him. wish he provided more reasoning on his decision.
edit: also i have no fucking clue what the poincare thing is, its way beyond me, but like every good cs student i understand what a huge fucking deal the P vs NP problem is. wish he had solved that instead.
According to the New Yorker article
“He told a friend that he had saved enough money in the United States to live on for the rest of his life.”
or his fucking stupid analogies.
