who is the smartest person in the world?

I have to agree that Dr. Stephen Hawkins is probably the smartest person in the world, at least of people who base themselves around one subject.\n\nAs far as that reporter goes, she may have the highest IQ ever recorded, but the IQ level isn't the only way to judge someone's smarts.  All it means is that she can (probably) learn things quicker than most other people on the planet.\n\nSo, in conclusion, I am da smartest-ist person in da hole wyde worldses.

Less learned but perhaps smarter in the ways of the world?

He is Mr.Bean!!!\n\nHe is the most intellectual and handsome in the imaginary world... He uses his intellect in making others laugh and happy!

Albert Einstein of course

Probably Harry Houdini. He was even called the world's greatest illusionist.

Everyone is smarter & dumber than someone else.  What else is new? \n\n"Even he, to whom most things that most people would think were pretty smart were pretty dumb, thought it was pretty smart". \nDouglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt, p. 205\nEnglish humorist & science fiction novelist (1952 - 2001)

I never counted. There are some that are only smarter in a book-smart way with no common sense, and some that seem to have more common sense than me. The smartest people I know have both.

I'm sure we would ALL like to believe that, but I don't think it's actually true.  Because if it was, I would be the one with the highest IQ ever recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records and not Marilyn vos Savant!!  Sorry, you can come in second if you insist.

you cant ever say that any one man is the smartest because some one that may know physics realy well may not know anything about art.

Me?\n\nI don't think you can quantify such a thing. I am a scientist and work with many of the world's top minds in their specialized field. Could they manage to go grocery shopping on their own? No way, yet they can clone a cat. Go figure.\n\nA great author or poet is smart in one way, while a brilliant mathematician is smart in another.  \n\nI guess you want an all around Jack of All trades smart guy. Well Ken Jennings from Jeopardy has a lot of trivia knowledge and knows amny subjects, but no one would call him the smartest person on the planet.  Einstein was a great physicist yet he was a lousy artist.\n\nI think  you can be the best at somthing, but not the best at everything.

Depends on the person.  I haven't heard any scientific proves which is smarter than the other.
