start the countdown
number ten teen tech geniuses Gary and
Wyatt weird science nobody likes us
nobody making the transition from geek

you’re assisted by a super model that
you created using an 80s PC and a doll
the sky’s the limit
harnessing the power of their superior
intellect these two are hampered only by
their social awkwardness getting their
comeuppance through their creation they
have a raging party save the day and get
the girls

nine home invention genius wayne
szalinski Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Shrunk the Kids what and the Thompson
kids – they’re about this big they’re in
the backyard it’s not every day that
someone invents a shrink-ray at their
family home in fact it probably hasn’t
happened but in this 80s family romp a
well-meaning an enthusiastic inventor
has developed a shrink ray in his attic
you know dad I was calculating he took
all the molecules listen I gotta get
this thing working before I leave
how’d you go help your sister while his
kids do end up shrunken hijinks ensue
somehow we think that keeping it out of
their teenage tans in the first place is
the true demonstration of superior
intellect
number eight time-traveling genius
Alexander hardigan The Time Machine love
makes people do crazy things including
creating a time machine to travel to the
past and prevent your fiance from being
murdered exam de nothing will ever
change what happened no you’re wrong
aside from the obvious impressiveness of
building a time machine building one at
the turn of the 20th century when
technology was in its primitive stages
is almost unfathomable a steampunk time
machine does look rather sharp however
number seven literary genius Jamal
Wallace finding Forrester there is
genius in defying expectations who say
nothing about them Tesco is nobody I
worry about that
yeah brother don’t stay between me and
you for a hardscrabble kid from the
inner city being a literary prodigy is
almost unheard of and writing 5,000
words overnight on command is almost
miraculous at least according to most
college students while everyone is
expecting him to excel in basketball
this whiz kid banks left and stuns them
with his innate talent with words but
have you considered that he might just
be that good it’s almost poetic not this
good
number six logical reasoning genius
Sherlock Holmes I was trying to
introduce the manner in which Blackwood
survived his execution clearing awkward
games 212 he’s a wacky crime fighter /
detective for hire who also likes his
drugs
I was simply testing a new anesthetic
here’s my hose as your doctor he’ll be
stretches to tribute in no time as your
friend to top it off he’s blessed with
incredible reasoning skills that border
on the improbable when the cops can’t
crack a case this simultaneously smarmy
and dapper gentlemen accompanied by his
loyal bestie Watson show up and show out
Oh
Holmes makes solving complicated cases
look like a breeze when most of us can’t
figure out where our left sock
disappeared to and constable you could
do worse than just check the ground
under the real windows for any signs of
footprints not your own data data data I
cannot make bricks without clay number
five good time genius Chris Knight real
genius you are Chris Knight aren’t you
hope so I’m wearing his underwear it’s a
joke a true sign of genius is destroying
someone’s house using only popcorn and a
high-powered laser
back when the CIA was apparently
commissioning Megadeth weapons from
child prodigies one stood supreme
amongst them as the leader of the genius
brigade tonight manages to make the most
of his intellectual acumen choosing to
pack as much fun as possible into his
college experience with great power
comes great pranking ability just a
bunch of degenerates we are what about
that time I found you naked with that
bowl of jell-o you did not number four
Loki genius Will Hunting Good Will
Hunting he’s like a genius or whatever
it’s no big deal
or at least he doesn’t seem to care you
know maybe you wish you hadn’t said that
but you know it’s such a serious thing
that you can’t take it back and now I’m
stuck in California if someone doesn’t
really want to be with me just wish they
had to take back while everyone else
around him is flabbergasted by his
photographic memory and clearly
exceptional intellect that’s gonna last
until next year you’re gonna be in here
regurgitating Gordon wood talking about
you know the pre-revolutionary utopia
and the Capitol forming Effects of
military mobilization he’s content
toiling away as a janitor with some
therapy and some introspection he
eventually realizes his potential and
decides that true love is what motivates
him in the end if the professor calls
about that job just tell him sorry I had
to go see about a girl well
bitch stole my number three savant
genius Raymond Babbitt Raymond how much
is four thousand three hundred forty
three times 1234 5 3 5 9 2 6 2 he’s a

book no you start from the beginning
yeah how FAR’s you’re good Chetan gee
gee that’s a William Marshall that’s it
you memorize T G yeah G as an autistic
savant
he possesses genius level skills that
scientists don’t yet truly understand
and know his brother attempts to
capitalize on his talents with a trip to
Vegas touch defies my own philosophy
there’s lots of it lots and lots
hold on here hold on here for a second
we have to admit that we like the cut of
Raymond’s jib in a camel colored suit
not to mention we think a cross-country
road trip with him would be a blast I

siblings or twisting the heads off dolls
this child prodigy was studying
university level quantum physics the
name of this class is phys 105 quantum
physics not physical education at seven
his unparalleled intellect often has him
upstaging other whiz kids at a special
school for the super smart he eventually
learns how to reconcile being a genius
with being a little boy and incredible
as it sounds when I turned eight I had
the best birthday card we just hate to
go up against him in a spelling bee
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions first principles
Clarisse simplicity read marcus aurelius

number one tortured mathematical genius
max Cohen PI to everything around us can
be represented and understood through
numbers being a walking supercomputer
can be a little intense at times in fact
it can be such a hassle that you’re
compelled to take a drill to your skull
or that’s the impression we get from
