Do you think he was smarter than Gauss? Why?

Cool. But where is the extra volume coming from?

What do you mean expanding into itself. You are saying more space is being "created"?

I heard Gauss could add and multiply 20 digits in his head, could solve equations in his head no different from writing on the board, whereas neumann at best could multiply/add 8 to 10 digits. Although just working memory(can't gauge the rest abilities as they are a bit abstract), that's a pretty huge difference tho?
