(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for genius that I've seen before include "A natural talent" , "One has exceptional ability" , "Great intelligence" , "Prodigy" , "Brilliant mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Guardian, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
