Lakeview Ave.’s “human adding machine”

Comment now »

boy-genius-21Via Richmond Then and Now comes the story (published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on April 14, 1935), of Edward Theodore “Teddy” Greenberg, math prodigy, treasurer of the neighborhood Scorpions Club and student at Albert Hill School, who lived at 2304 Lakeview Ave. Theodore solved this problem lickety-split. Can you?

“Add,” he said, “17, 18, 15, 14, 11, 24, 26, 25, 50. Take away (the terms plus and minus mean nothing to Teddy) 110; add 80, 20; take away 190; add 15. How many fives are in the answers?”

More importantly, does anyone know what became of little Teddy?
