William Sidis's IQ was estimated at 250-300. He knew about 5 languages at 5 years old and could teach himself a new language in one day. He got accepted to harvard at age 11. Graduated cum laude when he was 16.
My IQ is in the 130s. Makes you wonder if people that smart see the world in a different manner. Like if they look around and see an instant solution to everything while normal people have to ponder it for a lengthy time or can't even fathom some things at all. I think it has some correlation to us programming. We're all good at it and if someone says "hey can you do this?", we're like sure gimme 2 minutes. But this Sidis guy was like that with math/physics/everything. It's quite mind-boggling. You guys should read about him...very very interesting fellow.
