I truly didn’t know ANYTHING about Sidis truly interesting Man his obscure need for hiding out after the prison stay because of his political views is sad but understandable!! True loss of a great mind

What a strange life he led from beginning to end! To know something of his personal life would be interesting. I wonder whether that followed the same strange pattern?

WendyDarling , I don't know all that much, but I do know that his parents put a LOT of pressure on their son almost from birth. They also exposed him to public media interest at an early age. Then pushed for him to be admitted to college too early. He was ridiculed at Harvard by other students. Sound like a good life?

NimuaeAvalon, I'm American and trust me, many of us have NEVER heard of this man. I got lucky and guessed, but I have excellent stats in the quiz, play at difficult and while I agree many questions are garnered for American topics or our experience, however I've observed that this comes down to non-Americans not submitting as much content. Apparently, we love to contribute.
