Hmm, let's see...
By using Maxwell's equations Einstein formulated his Special Theory of Relativity and his most famous euqation E=mc^2 came out of it. This showed that with a small amount of matter, one can get HUGE amounts of energy. Fermi was the first to create a chain reaction on a racquetball court, but Oppenheimer turned all the knowledge into the first two "atomic devices" : Fat Man and Little Boy.
So, Oppenheimer?

Is this a trivia question? It appears that you are providing clues to get a specific answer. Albert Einstein was certainly able to answer 2+2, if he is the answer you are looking for. His theories of relativity may have played a part in the later development of nuclear weapons (by other people), but Einstein was himself opposed to such uses.
People thought Einstein was not "firing on all cylinders" because he might show up with two different colored socks, or his tendency to forget to brush his hair. The fact is, Albert Einstein's mind was usually cranking along on issues he deemed more important, so things we simpler folk consider important (socks and hair) weren't worth his attention.

You're probably talking about Leo Szilard. He was the one to come up with idea of chain reaction. But to picture him as unable to say how much is 2+2, is wrong. He was very bright in a conventional way. To support himself, he developed numerous patents with Albert Einstein, and was the first scientist (at least in popular belief) to fully realize the implications of Hitler's rule in Germany. Consequently he and Einstein left Germany in 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor.

I think you're referring to the fact that he failed mathematics in grammar school. The reason he failed was because he was observing nonlinear characteristics in Linear Geometry...his teacher just had no freakin clue what he was talking about. And just to set it straight...Einstein wasn't a mathematician...he was a physicist. When he started with Special Relativity he went back to learn the math to explain his theories. Genius...i wish i could come up with a solid theory and then go learn the math to support it...

You are talking about Albert Einstien, aren't you? If you are, then he could certianly answer that 2+2 is 4.

He could answer 2+2. He was a mathemetics professor.
