Kim Aung Yong
The smartest man in the world who went to university at 3
The intellect from Korea was born in 1962 and from a very young age showed its diversity. He is probably the smartest kid to ever walk the planet.

Once he extinguished his 5 candles, he could solve complex mathematical problems, while a little later he appeared on TV and showed the diplomas (Proficiency level) he had obtained in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, German, English, Japanese and ( of course) Korean.

When he was seven years old, NASA invited him to go to America. Before turning fifteen, he had received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Colorado.
