> But I do the google code-jams and what-not and 15 year olds can beat me straight. There's this guy who won the Abel prize in 2012 called Endre Szemeredi.

He started to do maths at 22 as his parents wanted him to go to medical school - that he left and went do do manual labour in some factory. His professor though he'll never be able to become a proper mathematician.
