We all know how difficult mathematics is. In fact, left to us, they should just remove it from the syllabus!

Imagine our surprise when we saw that 14-year-old Ebbah Wyse represented Nigeria in the 2016 African Mathematics Olympiad in Pretoria and won gold!

He is the African Olympiad Champion!

He of course had to qualify at the national level before he went on to the inter-country stage. He led the Nigerian Olympiads with a 90% score.

Please, is it this same brain we are all carrying about, or is there something we need to add to our own?

Albert Einstein came out with a third class.
I think we can safely discount that he won any competitions in his childhood age. grin.


Kudos to the kids though.

I got to the Olympiad qualifications for my regions when I was in secondary school.

I saw some dangerously dangerous mathematics there.

I'm talking about next level application mathematics or some really abstract shii.

I still remember the first question there. It was on probability. It stated :

"Find the probability that a point inside a circle is not on the diameter."

It was then I knew i was f*cked. angry grin
