I entirely agree with you about writing genius characters, and your proposed strategy is workable even with e.g., Ramanujan.
So that 3 = sqrt(1 + 2x4) = sqrt(1 + 2xsqrt(1 + 3x5)) = sqrt(1 + 2xsqrt(1 + 3xsqrt(1 + 4x6))) = ... , etc., ad infinitum.

This is 3 as an infinitely long string of nested square roots -- a novel mathematical beast, when Ramanujan encountered it.

Like one of Holmes' deductions, no one else was able to put these pieces together. Ramanujan alone recognized 3 in this form.
