I have linked to and posted pictures of Eva Vertes from SciFoo before and you may ask: "Who is she? Why was she invited there?" The Wikipedia page I linked to earlier is a short stub and full of errors. So, to make it clear, see this page as well as comments on this talk she gave two years ago when she was 17:

Your math is off. She was 19 when she gave this talk two years ago.

More bad info than bad math, really. Thank you for the correction.
