"Geoff Mackenzie"


As I recall, Richard Feynman was rejected by the US Army after failing an
IQ test. He did not reach the minimum entry levels on anything. Don't
know the US nomenclature at the time, but it boiled down to "too dumb"
even for a grunt.


** Completely at odds with the facts of his life story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman#Education

He was a full time student, attended the MIT and finally received a PhD from
Princeton in 1942 at age 24.

Then he was invited to join the Manhattan Project.

He scored 123, on a standard IQ test, in his early teens.
