From the BBC:
A toddler from West Dunbartonshire has stunned family and friends with his extraordinary maths and language skills. Four-year-old Jamie Mohr, from Old Kilpatrick, can count in six languages and knows 17 times tables...
His mother Lorraine is tipping him to win a Nobel Prize following his "miraculous" development.
I wish him the best of luck, but there is no Nobel Prize in maths.

True - but there are the Fields medal and the Abel prize. But you don't get them for arithmetic.
V, I happen to have heard of Fields Medal, but only because my daughter is doing maths. I'm sure most people have never heard of it. Or Abel prize.
Other than Fields medals and the Abel Prize, there is little other conversation in Chromatistes Towers, populated as it is, entirely by Mathematics graduates.
The sharper-witted of your readers will notice that, since Chromatistes is a denizen of Flatland, Chromatistes Towers cannot exist within its two-dimensional universe, and is therefore a figment of the imagination, along with its inhabitants.
C, I am glad you explained the reference. It was lost on me.
