One’s won two IMO golds and the other’s published in Econometrica. Their 30-min joint press conference? Both gave respectful, elegant, articulate, honest and intelligent answers. No questions avoided, no hype, no drama —just two uncharismatic yet incredibly smart people. Presidents doing their jobs.

Bucharest is Romania's capital. Nicusor Dan --twice IMO gold medalist and ENS Paris XIV math PhD-- recently got reelected as mayor, running as an independent. Earlier this week, on live TV, he was asked: "What’s the smallest natural number that doubles when you move its last digit to the front?"
