Ben Bernanke US News and World Report has put together a list of 10 thinks you didn't know about Fed chief Ben Bernanke. (We knew some of them). Here are a few from the list:

  • Bernanke learned to read in kindergarten and skipped first grade. At age 11, he won the South Carolina state spelling bee.
  • In high school, he taught himself calculus, since his school did not offer the course. He scored a 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and graduated at the top of his class in 1971.
  • Bernanke learned Hebrew partly from his grandfather. He officiated at the bar and bat mitzvahs of his children, Joel and Alyssa, without the help of a rabbi.
