One of my roommates from freshman year graduated with a perfect A average from Princeton. However, he focused entirely on his academic work and during freshman year we had to physically drag him from his room to take a shower and take a break to go to a movie or something once every few weeks. It wasn’t that he was intentionally antisocial; it was simply that he would get so lost in his work that he would lose track of time and day. I remember in the second semester of engineering physics, he hadn’t had time to do one of the chapters, so to answer some of the questions, he simply derived the necessary equations from previous principles before solving the problem.
Funny thing, though. After graduating at the absolute top of his class, we never saw or heard from him again — the rumor was that he had been recruited by one of the defense think tanks and spent his entire career protecting the United States by doing top-security physics and mathematics.
To my knowledge, very few people in the past 50 years have ever matched his perfect grade average

我大一时的一个室友在普林斯顿大学毕业时以完美的A平均成绩毕业。然而，他完全专注于学业，大一的时候我们不得不亲自拉他出房间洗澡，每隔几周去看一次电影或者做其他休息的事情。并不是他有意不合群，只是他会沉浸在工作中而失去时间和日期的概念。我记得在工程物理学的第二学期，他没有时间做其中的一章内容，所以为了回答一些问题，他直接从之前的原理中推导出必要的方程，然后解决问题。
有趣的是，毕业后我们再也没有见到他或听到他的消息 —— 有传言称他被国防智囊团之一招募，并在整个职业生涯中通过进行高度机密的物理和数学工作来保护美国。
据我所知，在过去的50年里，很少有人能达到他的完美成绩平均值。
