Who's the smartest person you know?

Have you ever met any actual geniuses?

I've met one and he used to be a good buddy at school. There wasn't a single exam where he got less than top marks, which is saying something when all he used to do was sleep in class and he was Chinese taking French and English literature as 2 of his subjects.

He also won or got second place in international maths competitions and did IB Higher Maths at 15 years old. What I noticed was that his ability to just soak up information was second to none and he just 'got' things easily. Though I don't think he delved into the philosophical side of things too much.

Currently I think he's now a professor in some top notch university in the States. MIT or UPenn or something.
