Budgeting and scheduling aren't difficult to do. I wish that I had someone like a professor seeing potential and guiding my 3-year-old self, but it's useless mourning the past. I don't think Luke Robitaille is all that talented in mathematics as he is homeschooled yet still struggles to score perfect at the IMO, and he once got tied in score to someone from Mongolia in the CMC. That Mongolian has an IQ of 150, and I don't think that he studied as much as Luke R.
I might be sounding silly since the IMO is no joke, but you would think that someone who is homeschooled should be able to ace the IMO. Same case with Reid Barton, who is currently a nobody in mathematics. I've seen several people saying that they have IQs in the 170-200 range, but I don't believe that one bit.
