Interesting suggestion.
I'd like to present something, as well:
We call the set of transcedental numbers [math]T[/math]. Then, [math]\pi + e[/math] isn't transcedental if and only if [math] H_1 [ ( \mathbb{R} - \{ \pi+ e \} ) \cup T ] \cong \mathbb{Z}[/math].
This is a clearly stated topological version of the problem, and I hope a solution might come with further advances in algebraic topology.

Obviously not, you need at the absolute least extensive knowledge of differential topology, symplectic geometry, Lie groups, calculus of variations and torus actions on manifolds.

Assuming you weren't a wunderkind like Tao, the best strategy is probably immitating Feynman:
>make solid, relevant contributions to your field
>set up some drama like adulterous relations, stealing results
>also random stuff that has shitpost potential, like the IQ thing
>publish good expositional material
It's extremely hard, sure, but it's probably quite a bit easier than making Eintein-tier contributions to your field.
