Hardy gave himself a score of 25, his colleague Littlewood a score of 30, Hilbert a score of 80, and Ramanujan a perfect score of 100. "over the last 40 years, as nearly all of Ramanujan's conjectures had been proven, there had been greater appreciation of Ramanujan's work and brilliance, and that Ramanujan's work was now pervading many areas of modern mathematics and physics." "Ramanujan combined a power of generalisatio
