      Intelligence is a tricky one to measure!

      One of the smartest people I can think of is Stephen Hawking, who is a famous physicist that made many contributions to modern physics! I don’t know if he’s the smartest person in the world though.

      A man named Andrew Wiles solved a very old maths problem called Fermat’s Last Theorem. It had been unsolved for centuries, and many very clever people had tried to solve it. I think that’s pretty smart too!

      Who do you think’s the smartest person?

      I think that smartest depends on what field you’re thinking of. Many people are very knowledgable in their own field but not much beyond that. I think it’s important to have some general knowledge, too, what do you think?
