What’s the Background of this Challenge?
This challenge – isn’t really about who’s smartest, but more about who knows how to rank on Google for that question. It’s, of course, a better test around ranking on Google than it is intelligence.

Who is the smartest human being to have ever lived?
The Smartest Human Being to Have Ever Lived was William James Sidis
William James Sidis was likely the smartest person who ever lived, according to NPR. William James Sidis was almost an experiment for 2 naturally brilliant parents and had learned many languages by the time he was 6 years old. He won admission into Harvard at age 9 and gave lectures to the professors.

As part of an ABC interview for the TV show 20/20 a neuropsychologist conducted an IQ test with Langen and said that Langan had the highest IQ score he had ever come across in 25 years – indeed he is said to have the highest I.Q. of anyone alive today.
