So did you ask your friend where this notion of theirs came from?
I have a memory of EY boasting about how he learned to solve high school/college level math before the age of ten, but I couldn't track down where I read that.
Ah, here is the bit I was thinking about:
its in the waybackmachine link in the post you are commenting on!
I hadn't read that link before, so it was somewhere else, too.
I don't remember the post, but I'm pretty sure I remember that Eliezer described himself as a coddled math prodigy, not having made to train seriously and compete, and so he lags behind math prodigies who were made to hone their skills that way, like Marcello.
