> Einstein flunked out of school.

Myth. Einstein never flunked out of any school or failed a math course. His grades weren't always A's (he did get one or two F's in his career), and he did fail an entrance exam to the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich, but he didn't have above-average diffuculty with his education.
