Grigori Perelman at the Traffic Signal
classic entry in the "math prof or hobo" series Grigori Perelman, mathematician who proved the Poincaré Conjecture and who refused to accept a Fields Medal and the $1,000,000 Clay Prize, spotted at a traffic signal.
A disheveled-looking man identified as mathematician Grigori Perelman stands at a traffic signal beside a road with buses. The joke is that his unkempt appearance makes him look like a homeless person, despite being a world-famous mathematician who rejected major awards and prize money; it is shared as an absurd math-professor-versus-hobo reaction.
