I'm Andrei Udriște, a 28-year-old from Romania and member of over 15 I.Q. societies, including OLYMPIQ, Glia, Imhotep (Mathematicus), Thoth (Candidatus Maior), Ultima, Intruellect and True.
Since I was a little kid, I've been drawn to puzzles of all kinds. Numbers in particular have always been my stronger suit.
