world's cleverest man

You are the world's cleverest man. You have solved one of maths' most intractable problems. Do you: a) accept a $1m reward, or b) reject the money, barricade yourself inside your flat and refuse to answer the door? The attached link provides the answer (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/23/grigory-perelman-rejects-1m-dollars)! Try to see this man through his own eyes...

You can't see this man through his own eyes unless you have Asperger's syndrome as he most assuredly does.

He's not doing it for the money, he's doing it for the math.

Other than the annoyances he has about his colleagues, you may be surprised to know he is likely happy with his life and wouldn't want it any other way.
