Here's how some other child prodigies fared... Pablo Picasso: The co-founder of cubism began producing notable art at 8 years old. His work can be divided into phases, as different periods of his life are reflected in the mood of his artwork. Bobby Fischer: At 15 he was a grand-master and became the first American World Chess Champion in 1972. He has only played one competitive match since 1975. Frédéric Chopin: This musical prodigy had composed two dance pieces for piano at 7 years old. Became a renowned musician, composer and conductor by his mid-teens. Norbert Wiener: Entered Tufts University when he was 11 and became one of the most influential mathematicians in U.S. history, though his name never helped him score any dates. Doogie Howser: A doctor at 15! Sadly it didn't last. The prodigal MD-aka Neil Patrick Harris-now plays Barney Stinson in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
