Every now and then one stumbles upon a genius who matches the eccentric stereotype.

Maybe, just maybe he can find a missing number that will alter the size of the National Debt! Wouldn’t surprise me that we move the decimal point somewhere in the next session of Congress and it won’t FEEL so bad...with so many zeros.

" 'I'm not interested in money or fame. I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."

Too bad he didn't pursue a career in climatology.

The topological conundrum essentially states that any three-dimensional space without holes in it is equivalent to a stretched sphere.

Dr Grigory Perelman, 44, lives as a recluse in a bare cockroach-infested flat in St Petersburg. He said through the closed door: ‘I have all I want.’

Yeah..I hear cockroach stew is very tasty.

A Russian awarded $1million (£666,000) for solving one of the most intractable problems in mathematics said yesterday that he does not want the money.

He's a lying bum! I told him if I gave him the answer he'd split the cash with me..........

That sounds obvious to me. Maybe I should have tackled this problem before Perelman got interested in it. ;)

Not sounding all that clever to me.

He deciphered the US Tax Code as well. Can’t blame him for refusing the prize.
