Next time when they have such difficult questions to solve, they shouldnt hide it rather bring it to africa precisely nigeria and put a price on it. that day you will know that if given the opportunity an average naija is brilliant than the americans. msteww 350yrs ko...1million years ni

From the equation he stated, the boy is a genius. You can only understand that if you are an electrician or physician. Please solve and apply it and see how it works. But it can only work in projectile equations

topboyz:

A 16-year-old has managed to crack puzzles which have baffled the world of maths for more than 350 years.

Shouryya Ray has been hailed a genius after working out the problems set by Sir Isaac Newton.

The schoolboy, from Dresden, Germany, solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers.
His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.

Shouryya only came across the problems during a school trip to Dresden University where professors claimed they were uncrackable.

'I just asked myself, 'Why not?',' explained Shouryya.

'I think it was just schoolboy naivety. I didn't believe there couldn't be a solution,' he added.
Modest Shouryya began solving complicated equations as a six year old but says he's no genius.

'There are other things at school I wish I was better at - football for one,' he said.

For years Shouryya has enjoyed what he calls 'intrinsic beauty' of maths.

When he was young, his father, an engineer, began testing his brain by setting him arithmetic problems.

After arriving from Calcutta four years ago without knowing any German, Shouryya is now fluent in the language.

His intelligence was quickly noted in class and he was pushed up two years in school - he is currently sitting his exams early.

Modestly Shouryya has pointed out he has weak points as a mathematician, and says he is not as competent in sport.

na real wa!

I can guarantee you, they were "close" and all he did was go off of someone else's model, thus
providing the "missing link". But to solve that SOLELY on his own..na comedy. Next we will hear of a 13 year old who knows how to solve the mystery of using Quantum Mechanics when it comes to time travel. tongue

he is indian and indians in high school have mustaches as early as 13. yes they are that hairy. that is why the ladies have hair touching their butt, but you would think indians are geniuses, it really baffles me, because, it is like this guy for one has taken the brain of about 1000 indians back in his country and addded it to his own, making the rest everlasting dummies, that is how it is in india, 1 genius, 1000 dummies, and good for them they are 1 billion.

Shouryya Ray (born 1996 Kolkata, India), is a 16-year-old German of Indian origin, who came second in the 2012 German youth science competition[1] Jugend forscht, in the category Mathematics and Computer Science. The prize was awarded for his project[2] on classical particle dynamics, which provides analytical solutions for finding the trajectory of a particle including drag and the reflection of a particle at a surface.[3] The result was covered in several news and digital media reports as a breakthrough,[4] but these articles were characterised as hype by scientists.[5] The motion of a particle subject to the forces of gravity and drag may have been published as early as 1860

I solved that puzzle some years back but it was not heard. I wonder why it's making waves now, it's because it's coming from a white guy or is it that i am not destined to solve it?

checkfidel: Is it for you to doubt his age or to acknowledge his achievement.
They said he is 16 so be it.
Or maybe you want him to put on T-shirt and jean before you know.
Or maybe for him to show his side view to know if the bears are mature or showing sign of growth.
Meanwhile he is not a Nigerian nor an African so you should expect rapid development as usual.
A 16-year-old lad with beards is quite acceptable, but with moustache? It begs for doubt. Moustache... That's serious.
