The Einstein Factor’s contestant of the week.

I can be a geek at the best of times. Although ashamedly I like to point and laugh at those geekier than myself. Call it insecurity if you will. These geeks are often very smart, albeit socially retarded.

I like nothing more than to revel in my inner-geekiness (or point and laugh at geeks) and indulge in a good ABC quiz show. There was a time where I would stay up well past midnight to listen to the [cult-ish] radio quiz The Challenge on Tony Delroy’s Nightlife on ABC Radio. I think it was the geek-factor which kept me listening each night with anticipation. Listening to The Challenge was comforting, because it was then that I realised that I’m a far cry from geek-dom within the Australian psyche.

Another ABC quiz show which celebrates the geek-factor of the Australian population is The Einstein Factor. The geek-dom of the contestants is admirable.
But the guy on tonight's Einstein Factor takes the cake.

Someone, get me this guy's phone number. I think I'm in love.
