- fossuser 5y agoYeah, you’re right - that one is my absolute favorite. Even includes a PG cameo. And getting a 53 on the Putnam at 14 is wild. I wonder how that happens, what leads to that (in addition to obvious high ability). Good parents? Early access to good books? Do some people just have a more intuitive sense for math? Tons of practice?
