Age and grade level have nothing to do with intelligence as far as I am concerned.

damn we got some smart people here...well i guesse it also depends on the country you live in. I could have gone at 16 aswell like most of u :P , but then i wudn't ever be able to do some other course or go anywhere else in the world...so i decided to do this other 2 yr diploma.

For a comparison, this years MacArther award ($500K to a researcher to use as he pleases) and often called the genius award went to an MIT prof who completed his PhD at 20 and is full professor at 22 right now!

So 16 is really old :p

If I'm not mistaken, this is the guy from Waterloo?
