I haven't seen him in a while, but if I remember I'll be sure to ask him.

Yeah, that's one thing Dan told me... there's always someone better than 
you.  However I'm betting that there are less people who are better than 
you than there are people who are better than me :)  That's what scares 
me, though... like, I'm going to pursue a career in mathematics, but I'm 
just afraid that there's no room for people like me who weren't really 
prodigies, and haven't done 4th-year math three years ahead of time.

Are you going to university now?
