On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady"s house. I found a smooth rock and sent it. The stone headed straight for a small window on the old lady"s back door. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old lady"s yard.

He graduated with high scores at the age of 16 and entered Harvard Law School at 18.
Gifted with an amazing IQ between 220 and 230, Terence Tao makes it to this list of the people with the highest IQ in the world. Born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975, this genius first displayed his incredible intelligence at a mere age of 2, when he managed to solve basic arithmetic questions on his own.
