Duplicate.
(In fairness, I only discovered that because I tracked down the original source to try finding out which specific "young people" Dyson had in mind. He seems to imply Abram Samoilovitch Besicovitch as one example; I can put forward George Dantzig as another. But other than them...)
Apologies for the dupe.
Another example that I think is relevant, Wiles decided to solve Fermat's Last Theorem when he was 10-years-old...and picked the problem up again in his early 30's because of that childhood fascination.
