Yeah, freshman year, I scored a 105, you dominated me. You know the first thing I thought after taking the AIME? Okay, so I can say, statistically, by some test, that I and a couple of my friends are in the top 5%, or the top 1%, or the even the top .25%…but there is a HECK of a lot of difference between the top .25% and the top .01%. And then to make myself feel better…at least I’m not an lonely guy with no social skills. Vanity combats insecurity. Woo hoo to being nicer to look at than the top .01% of math geniuses! (Sorry to anyone who is…I joke about these things…too often.)
