She, surprised, responded that she had finished that in
her freshman year.

High School?

It's been a lot of years since I read that anecdote. I can't be certain,
but I don't think that question was answered. At any rate, I'd venture to
guess that Mr. Einstein was more surprised and impressed by being in the
presence of such a prodigy than either Myron or Ken would be.

Possibly so, however I had heard it that Mr. Einstein stated that he studied
Physics. In any case, a quick google search didn't verify it.

Meanwhile, in my 13 year career as a math teacher, I have only encountered
two students astute enough to have completed Advanced Algebra in or before
their freshman year (in high school), and neither of them was particularly
impressive. A bit arrogant and pretentious was more like it.
