William James Sidis, not that I'd stand a chance at recognizing him. The implications would be incredible.

@LukeTheDuke He was a child prodigy who fled the public eye as an adult. He entered Harvard at the age of 11, ended up teaching Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry to students who were older than he was, and writing numerous books under various pseudonyms. He also allegedly learned 25 languages and dialects. Sidis is widely believed to have been the smartest person who ever existed.
