Define "intelligent" and then present me an argument as to why this man is the "most intelligent" and we'll discuss.

Ok he's the best mathematician, he may suck at rounders but he could spin circles around your binomial distribution."Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman. . . is a Russian mathematician who has made landmark contributions to Riemannian geometry and geometric topology. In particular, he proved Thurston's geometrization conjecture. This solves in the affirmative the famous Poincaré conjecture, posed in 1904 and regarded as one of the most important and difficult open problems in mathematics until it was solved.
In August 2006, Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow". Perelman declined to accept the award or to appear at the congress.
On 22 December 2006, the journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré Conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year," the first such recognition in the area of mathematics."
Not that's he's the "best mathematician" alive either. I'm merely pointing out that alot of people in this thread are pulling statements out of their anus.
