I don’t know how to quantify how much “math discovery” they did relative to the other participants. You can still read through the comments, so if you have some particular metric you’re interested in, that will help clarify the issue. The roughest possible estimate would be in terms of numbered items (the de facto unit of polymath development), and it’s clear that Gowers has more of these than any one else.

Thanks for that link.
