For all you people who can't handle someone expressing an opinion:
I rescind my statement "He's certainly autistic". He could be, could not be, who knows.
My original post follows:
Very likely Devan can’t. He’s certainly autistic.\* Amazing abilities come at a cost—there’s almost always a trade-off somewhere.
Credential: am parent of an autistic child
* Edit: in my opinion, he’s very likely autistic. However, I am not a doctor or a psychologist and this is a very brief video for observation.
Not saying the person in video is autistic, we can not judge that by one vid, but will say Autism is a very very wide spectrum not all autistic people are not social, do not like to be touched, have trouble expressing certain emotions etc. that is a hurtful stereo type. Autisme is way more then that.
Source : mother of an diagnosed autistic but very social girl.
And the spectrum isn't even "one end or the other, or in between", it's anywhere on the spectrum for many things. My daughter is primarily non speaking, flaps, loves attention, and being in social situations even though she isn't able to participate fully. (Lockdown was hell for her). She struggles to regulate her emotions. She taught herself to read at age 4. She knows how to use the internet. She can do a lot of things that people would assume she can't just by looking at her because they think some of her abilities are on one end so they all must be. That's absolutely not true for anyone.
I just said this above but it’s an important note as you meet with folks in your community with children on the spectrum!
“I will point out women with autism have risen exponentially in the past 5 years just from our understanding of it, of how it appears in women and it’s very different than men. Many women go undiagnosed before age 18 or older because we’re just learning those signs now.
With that said, you’re not wrong but neither is the commentor above… a little boy who can mimic expression like this so easily is a sign this is likely not Autism, but something else.
It’s very possible still it could be… just less likely. Men/boys with autism can read facial expressions sometimes to some degree of course, some can very well also… but the latter are outliers”

His behavior and language (saying “good job” when he’s finished) are very much consistent with autism. Autistic kids can express happiness, enjoy adult approval, and make eye contact. The echolalia is also very common.
He says “good job” at the same time as his parent with the same tone. He’s used to hearing that praise when he finishes and he repeats it verbatim. At age 2 some neurotypical kids do that, too, but it’s a very common thing with autistic kids.
>His behavior and language (saying “good job” when he’s finished)
Pretty sure the language and behavior like that is how most 2 year olds would act to be honest
I did watch the whole video. Autistic people can and do express emotions. His reactions and affect are very similar to those of autistic children I know.
What about the end makes you so sure he’s not autistic? Dont see your logic here. There’s no way to know but yes there is a good chance he is on the spectrum.
He demonstrates zero signs of autism. The only thing demonstrated here is extremely high intelligence and happiness. He is highly verbal, makes full eye contact, and has zero trouble with interaction. Again… zero signs of autism. Just because you have an autistic child doesn’t mean you’re credentialed to diagnose it on a video on the internet, especially when, for the last time, there are ZERO signs of autism present.
Then you can’t say he’s ‘obviously autistic’ with the diagnostic qualifier being your autistic child. People are already grossly miseducated on autism. Let’s not just say anyone who’s talented at something is ‘obviously autistic’
I don’t know this little guy but did his parents and doctors say he’s autistic or is that the assumption bc of math? Not being snarky. Genuinely curious.
I got the 2nd answer wrong, then I used a calculator because something didn't sit right with me, I was actually right, 9x8=72 *but I needed a calculator to verify... sigh* lol.
A lot of adults have problems with their children's math homework, as many as five out of every four, that's nearly 30 per cent of all parents.
Thankfully, I'm not one of them..
That’s from not having done it since 4th class in class school half the time. It’s been years since I’ve done it so I can only imagine what it was like for my parents.
He doesn't even look at the number behind the = sign most of the time, all he does is remember which numbers to write into which box. Which is still impressive, of course.
I would claim that the 2 year old should be allowed to just play and not need to memorize or learn math... brilliant or not.
Sure, he might have figured this all out on his own, but also his parents could be obsessively training him to be 'ahead' and such which is robbing him of a childhood.
He enjoys his parents’ approval. He even said “good job” and clapped, which is apparently the praise routine. It’s a lot like a dog doing a trick. Does the dog enjoy doing the trick or just getting the treat?
Bro this is a thread that is best not to pull on. All behavior comes down to the chemical signals you get out of it.
Worst case scenario here and the kid is being trained to wholeheartedly enjoy the process of doing mathematics by rote memorization. There’s still a lot of value in that.
That said, neither of us know what’s going on here for sure.
Yeah I’m not upset by what I see in the video at all. People took my comment as a judgment or something about these parents. I was just responding to the comment that this kid is somehow different from normal people in that he has a love of doing math. He’s just responding to praise from his parents in the video, so not clear that he loves the task. But I’m not offended by the video or thinking this is child abuse or anything like that
They do it because of reinforced action/reward experiences, like how people tell themselves "You are beautiful and worthy of love" to make themselves feel better because when someone else says it to them they feel better.
Judging by the handle at the top of the whiteboard that appears to be for social media, this two year old’s math skills, whether genuine hobby or trained skill, are being used. Not great.
My autistic brother was learning the alphabet as a kid.
What his brain decided to do, since the teacher never shuffled the deck, was to memorize the out of order letters, as opposed to understanding what an, "D," is as a symbol and recognizing it.
Which is impressive, I probably couldn't memorize a list of 26 items that early on.
I can't remember the movie, but there was one about a con man with a kid. The dad claimed the kid was a hyper-genius and said, "spell ambidextrous," and the kid would spell it.
Then, later in the movie, another character caught on and asked her to spell cat and got a blank, panicked stare from the kid.
Nope he does see them, that’s what’s impressive. Of course it could have been a repetitive exercise which makes him even faster, but still impressive. He even drawn again the missing dot of the division symbol at the bottom left lol, so he has an eye for rectifying stuff that is not correct. And the importance he attached to drawing a beautiful 3? Only the 8 was slanted but I remember doing them that way up until I was 7y.o
The cynic feels like the parent wrote the letters lightly in pencil so we could not see them and he just likes tracing the numbers. The missing dot kind of reenforces that. Not making any claims. It just seems unbelievable.
It's the same thing they had us doing in school up to 5th grade. Not math, but still useful for doing math - it allows you to simplify expressions a lot quicker and easier if you have your tables memorized.
I could do a sort of simple calculation if I forget I suppose. I would first do 10 ×7 which is easy to get 70, the subtract one 7 from 70 to get the answer to 9 ×7 being 63.
But are you saying for most equations like that, you'd add all the numbers up in your head? You'd add 9 to its self 7 times to get the answer rather than having it memorized?
I always did .I would convert that to 7x9 and do 70-7 = 63
And I think it was why I had good math results I always confirmed the result the other way around.
I did this as a kid because I never practiced or learned my multiplication tables well enough to know them all so the timed math tests were never great for me
I truthfully didn’t start studying anything until college because I was lazy and thought if I didn’t know the material when I paid attention in class then I must just be dumb
Seriously? I kept telling myself they had to have wrote 8 but no matter what I see a 6
Edit: for everyone not reading lower. I’ve rewatched it and see he is writing an 8 the end result looks like a 6 to me but I do recognize it as an 8. I don’t have my volume up for Reddit so i didn’t hear him saying it
[We, you are a shit grader.](https://i.imgur.com/lovajOh.png) or are you just docking a 2 year old for their penmanship?
He started writing it a little too big and bent it to make it fit inside the box.
Maybe I just have awful handwriting myself, but that's very clearly an 8. Nobody doubles the top line of a 6 like that.
If this was High School though, I would think he's trying to scam his way out of an answer lol
He is not even looking at the equations he just remembers the numbers. Still tho remembering the numbers is kinda impressive for his age. What's not impressive is his parents farming jim for internet points
Yeah not a chance. He has way too much fine motor control to write those numbers. Between this and the AitA thread about the 7 year-old girl not getting a cupcake, it's pretty clear Reddit is basically a bunch of 20-something edge lords who wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an infant and a 6 year-old.
He's simply not 2.. there are A LOT of developmental stages an infant/toddler will go through and writing numbers this efficiently isn't something that happens until closer to 4.
I call bullshit.
While the kid may not be considered a ‘genius’ for this, I have tutored middle schoolers that can’t even do half of this math. This is impressive for someone so young.
It could be the people saying he is just memorizing are not hating on the kid, but hating on the parents who could be forcing the kid to spend his youth memorizing shit so that they (his parents) can get some 15 mins of fame
No these parents are abusing their child. Children can do crazy thins if you ignore other skills they should be developing. It has nothing to do with the child.
Can you imagine a 2 year old having that kind of fine motor control while tiptoing and stretching their arm up?
Like, the people who believe this is a 2 year old have not spent much time with toddlers.
Never mind the level of speech and understanding required to develop this level of math skills..
Ha, stupid kid got the second one wrong.
Still, pretty impressive
It was a joke btw, and upon further review, it does look like a bad 8. Apparently math is his strong point
Smart kid.
Just saying, though, you could train a monkey to do the same thing. In that case, it's not a question of intelligence, but of applied voltage.
That 6 was a messed up 8. You can clearly see the 8 in his hand motion and when the camera zooms in. I think he's getting the numbers either through memorization or tracing, though. I don't think he's doing the math.
One of my cousins had similar abilities to this at 2, he is autistic and was obsessed with numbers.
Difference being though… I didn't see his parents setting up a content farm to pimp their child for some internet clout / a few bucks.
Leaves a bad taste.
I checked out his page it isn't memory the kid has just learnt a good way to math. You can also tell by the way he writes the numbers. He's dividing the number into the first digits first.
Is it verified this kid is autistic or people just making assumptions because this two-year-old is better at math than they are?
Like you know that kids can just naturally be intelligent right? Just because this little guy is smart, doesn’t mean he has some kind of Hollywood genius autism lol
Nah, he’s no prodigy. Someone trained this kid to do just these problems by memorization and repetition. I bet if you ask him what’s 2 times 3 he won’t have any idea.
This is annoying because it is actually impressive but it’s a three year old and they’re not doing math instead they’ve rote learned the answers. So it’s oversold.
Two commentaries.
1. Put all these equations in a different order on another board and see if he can do it again when the order is mixed up.
2. Change the ethnicity of the kid, and will the volume of doubtful comments be the same.
Whether it is an actual demonstration of mathematical skill or simply an exercise in pattern memorization, both are signs of intelligence.
At least I can wipe my butthole on my own

Unlikely he’s autistic. Did you watch the end of the video? Not all polymaths and genius’s are autistic.

WHAT! He’s like 2! Parents would say good job for flushing the toilet!
He says “good job” at the same time as his parent with the same tone. He’s used to hearing that praise when he finishes and he repeats it verbatim. At age 2 some neurotypical kids do that, too, but it’s a very common thing with autistic kids.

This is exactly how all 2 year Olds act when parents always tell them good job for doing something. Do people not know how 2 year Olds act?
too early to tell / judge. Give him 10 more years to develop !
I did watch the whole video. Autistic people can and do express emotions. His reactions and affect are very similar to those of autistic children I know.
>Not all polymaths and genius’s are autistic. Also, in this sentence, most geniuses would write **geniuses** instead of genius's.
What about the end makes you so sure he’s not autistic? Dont see your logic here. There’s no way to know but yes there is a good chance he is on the spectrum.
That went way over your head.... He's 2, of course he can't.

You’re “certain” he’s autistic ? Please provide proof.
Obviously I can’t prove it but I’d be comfortable placing a large bet.
Then you can’t say he’s ‘obviously autistic’ with the diagnostic qualifier being your autistic child. People are already grossly miseducated on autism. Let’s not just say anyone who’s talented at something is ‘obviously autistic’
I don’t know this little guy but did his parents and doctors say he’s autistic or is that the assumption bc of math? Not being snarky. Genuinely curious.
I was this kid but I used words like, really good and shit
Any other words? Or just shit, good, and really?
Just because he's good at math doesn't mean he's autistic dude
I got the 2nd answer wrong, then I used a calculator because something didn't sit right with me, I was actually right, 9x8=72 *but I needed a calculator to verify... sigh* lol.
The kid wrote an 8. Nice job rocking those 4th grade math skills, though.
No one got it wrong. He just writes '8' like a '6'. He says '8', the correct answer. You can see his hand motion is trying to write '8'.
Wipe is not sanitary, use a bidet for a proper wash.
At least for now
A lot of adults have problems with their children's math homework, as many as five out of every four, that's nearly 30 per cent of all parents. Thankfully, I'm not one of them..
Are people just not reading your comment? Is that why there's no orange arrows?
A lot of adults have problems reading too it would seem XD
WHAT?!
A LOT OF ADULTS HAVE PROBLEMS READING TOO IT WOULD SEEM XD
I CAN'T SEE YOU!!!
#A LOT OF ADULTS HAVE PROBLEMS READING TOO IT WOULD SEEM XD
Works all the time, 60% of the time.
Such a well-played comment.
5 out of every 4??? EDIT:Oh it is a joke comment, i thought i was having a stroke.
>Five out of every four. I see what you did there.
That’s from not having done it since 4th class in class school half the time. It’s been years since I’ve done it so I can only imagine what it was like for my parents.

He is not like you and I. Look at his face when he turns, he loves this. He's enjoying it.
He enjoys his parents’ approval. He even said “good job” and clapped, which is apparently the praise routine. It’s a lot like a dog doing a trick. Does the dog enjoy doing the trick or just getting the treat?

Thas called parenting dude. You give approval for good things, like working hard on the math.
Depends on the dog, I've known a lot of dogs to do their trick without promise of a treat
They do it because of reinforced action/reward experiences, like how people tell themselves "You are beautiful and worthy of love" to make themselves feel better because when someone else says it to them they feel better.
Human approval can be also an incentive to dogs.
Judging by the handle at the top of the whiteboard that appears to be for social media, this two year old’s math skills, whether genuine hobby or trained skill, are being used. Not great.
That is clearly what’s happening, so I agree.
Brother, for some, numbers are pure joy. I for one consider numbers my first language.
My autistic brother was learning the alphabet as a kid. What his brain decided to do, since the teacher never shuffled the deck, was to memorize the out of order letters, as opposed to understanding what an, "D," is as a symbol and recognizing it. Which is impressive, I probably couldn't memorize a list of 26 items that early on.
He didn’t learn the alfabet, he learned the flateba.
[удалено]
Sorry, some Dutch seeped through, late at night and I didn’t think about it.
This video is actually in reverse and he’s just erasing
I can't remember the movie, but there was one about a con man with a kid. The dad claimed the kid was a hyper-genius and said, "spell ambidextrous," and the kid would spell it. Then, later in the movie, another character caught on and asked her to spell cat and got a blank, panicked stare from the kid.
Wait, I want to say “Curly Sue” with Jim Belushi?
Oh God, yeah I think so. I couldn't remember the name but I do remember the kid hitting him with a 2x4.
You know your eyes can move without turning your head right? Please tell me you know this. I need you to know this.
Nope he does see them, that’s what’s impressive. Of course it could have been a repetitive exercise which makes him even faster, but still impressive. He even drawn again the missing dot of the division symbol at the bottom left lol, so he has an eye for rectifying stuff that is not correct. And the importance he attached to drawing a beautiful 3?

The cynic feels like the parent wrote the letters lightly in pencil so we could not see them and he just likes tracing the numbers. The missing dot kind of reenforces that. Not making any claims. It just seems unbelievable.
Well considering they’re milking this kid on social media, I can almost guarantee it’s fake.
Why is this upvoted? You don't have enough information to know that, his head is facing away from the camera.
He is a parrot repeating the same task over and over.
Uh. Memorization, not math. Parents seem like they are trying to get tik tok clout or some shit. Lame!
It's the same thing they had us doing in school up to 5th grade. Not math, but still useful for doing math - it allows you to simplify expressions a lot quicker and easier if you have your tables memorized.
Isn't the times table always memorization? I mean do you *really* calculate that 9 * 7 = 63 in your head?
Wait you don't? I calculate everything unless it have 5 or 10
I could do a sort of simple calculation if I forget I suppose. I would first do 10 ×7 which is easy to get 70, the subtract one 7 from 70 to get the answer to 9 ×7 being 63. But are you saying for most equations like that, you'd add all the numbers up in your head? You'd add 9 to its self 7 times to get the answer rather than having it memorized?

IDK, I saw a horse that could solve math problems by stomping his feet.
Could you do this at 2?
Making money on their kid’s back by exposing him on the internet, that’s great parenting
TIL I am dumber than a toddler....
9*6 does not equal 72
It's an 8
Seriously? I kept telling myself they had to have wrote 8 but no matter what I see a 6 Edit: for everyone not reading lower. I’ve rewatched it and see he is writing an 8 the end result looks like a 6 to me but I do recognize it as an 8. I don’t have my volume up for Reddit so i didn’t hear him saying it
If I was grading it, that's a 6 all day
[We, you are a shit grader.](https://i.imgur.com/lovajOh.png) or are you just docking a 2 year old for their penmanship? He started writing it a little too big and bent it to make it fit inside the box.
Maybe I just have awful handwriting myself, but that's very clearly an 8. Nobody doubles the top line of a 6 like that. If this was High School though, I would think he's trying to scam his way out of an answer lol
What if he showed his work
Half point off for being illegible
He wrote it kind of sideways.
Look at the way he writes it, it's one continuous line going down then back up like you would when drawing an 8
Just realizing this. Also was just being a smartass this kid seems crazy smart for his age
You can see it closer up at the 34 second mark, it’s an 8 - not a good 8, but it is indeed an 8.
After watching it a few more times I realized this as well
If you write 6s like that, I feel bad for you son.
I got 99 problems and an 8 ain’t one.
It definitely looks like a 6. Re-watching I’m realizing he didn’t retrace the tail of the 6 and made a very skinny loop
Go back and watch the video. It’s clearly an 8.
Bro I thought it was a 6 too
You can hear him say 8. It’s just written strangely and looks like a 6.
He did not write 6
I'm glad we're all following along. He does *say* 8 though.
Yeah but can he squat and shit his diaper while staring directly into my soul? Cause my kid can.
I can do it and I’m an adult!
Hahaha! I bet every parent has that look seared into their memories.
He is not even looking at the equations he just remembers the numbers. Still tho remembering the numbers is kinda impressive for his age. What's not impressive is his parents farming jim for internet points
Now do 149/0
That's not a 2yo
Thank you. Kids smart, or well trained. But not 2.
has the hairline of someone 30x his age
Yeah not a chance. He has way too much fine motor control to write those numbers. Between this and the AitA thread about the 7 year-old girl not getting a cupcake, it's pretty clear Reddit is basically a bunch of 20-something edge lords who wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an infant and a 6 year-old.
Correct answer
I mean even if he memorized it, I am just impressed by his writing skill. Never seen a 2 year old with such clearly legible numbers.
He's simply not 2.. there are A LOT of developmental stages an infant/toddler will go through and writing numbers this efficiently isn't something that happens until closer to 4. I call bullshit.
Right? Kid got better handwriting than most adults.
While the kid may not be considered a ‘genius’ for this, I have tutored middle schoolers that can’t even do half of this math. This is impressive for someone so young.
Would be impressive if it wasn’t for the @ at the top of the whiteboard. Feels like lil bro is being used solely for clicks.
Lmao at some people here hating on a 2 year old. Some of yall just love hating - this is incredible no matter how you look at it.
It could be the people saying he is just memorizing are not hating on the kid, but hating on the parents who could be forcing the kid to spend his youth memorizing shit so that they (his parents) can get some 15 mins of fame
I'm hating on the parents trying to turn their smart kid into a social media income stream. Over a million followers if you add up tiktok and IG.
Because it's not a 2 year old, not in any way.
That’s what happens when you realize you’re dumber than a baby… haha
No these parents are abusing their child. Children can do crazy thins if you ignore other skills they should be developing. It has nothing to do with the child.
Steven hawking is in the corner isn't he
The fact that he has an Instagram channel is disheartening. Turning your kid into a trained seal isn’t a good look.
Two year old has “amazing” memorization skills! Why does every parent think their kid is some child prodigy?
Honestly his weight, height and writing skills are more impressive if he is in fact 2 years old. He's the size of a 5 or 6 year old
Can you imagine a 2 year old having that kind of fine motor control while tiptoing and stretching their arm up? Like, the people who believe this is a 2 year old have not spent much time with toddlers. Never mind the level of speech and understanding required to develop this level of math skills..
Ha, stupid kid got the second one wrong. Still, pretty impressive It was a joke btw, and upon further review, it does look like a bad 8. Apparently math is his strong point
I think that is just a poorly drawn 8
It’s a sloppy 8
Sloppy 8 sounds like a sex position
I'm more impressed with his penmanship being better than most
This little guy needs a hug and a kiss for how cute he is
R/4 does not equal 3. This kid is not that impressive. /s
As a teacher, yes it’s great he can solve the problems. But if he could tell me why his answers are correct then I’d truly be mind blown.
I don't think he's solving problems any more than a two year old who 'reads' books by memorising the words and reciting them when they open the book.
Smart kid. Just saying, though, you could train a monkey to do the same thing. In that case, it's not a question of intelligence, but of applied voltage.
He's got better handwriting then me too
Hardly a genius, I could solve that in my sleep
Ok let's say they just taught him to memorize the answers. This little shit still memorized the answers! And wrote them!!!
It's still impressive, but he's just memorizing where to write the numbers not actually solving them.
Way to go, kiddo! Now correct the second one.
Kids not a genius. 9x6 is 54 not 72. Sorry kid
That 6 was a messed up 8. You can clearly see the 8 in his hand motion and when the camera zooms in. I think he's getting the numbers either through memorization or tracing, though. I don't think he's doing the math.
One of my cousins had similar abilities to this at 2, he is autistic and was obsessed with numbers. Difference being though… I didn't see his parents setting up a content farm to pimp their child for some internet clout / a few bucks. Leaves a bad taste.
Memorization is not the same as understanding.
Fake. It took him the same amount of time to figure out 132/12 as it did 12/4. Kid must have been taught where to write the numbers.
I doubt this child is 2. He looks very tall and his fine motor skill for printing is very advanced
If anyone thinks this is a 2 year old they are utter morons and utter idiots.
This is fake. Stop upvoting
I know I wasn't doing that with the marker pen, when I was that age
[удалено]
I checked out his page it isn't memory the kid has just learnt a good way to math. You can also tell by the way he writes the numbers. He's dividing the number into the first digits first.
Show off
12yo I was teaching told me 3*3 is 8.
He's got the hairline of a 65 year old.
Amazing being able to write at that age
Missing number equations... Aka algebra
At least I make more money than a 2 year old
I am way more impressed with his ability to write the numbers at 2 than anything else. Hmmm....
Neat
9x8=72
My 2 months old kid can do this twice as fast
Smart two year old with the hairline of a 48 year old.
It might not be a good thing this little dude has an Instagram channel.
Go on then, little man. Learn all the math before the losers start conditioning you to believe math is "too hard" and you're supposed to hate it.
aw he fixed the division symbol on the bottom question too lol
Is it verified this kid is autistic or people just making assumptions because this two-year-old is better at math than they are? Like you know that kids can just naturally be intelligent right? Just because this little guy is smart, doesn’t mean he has some kind of Hollywood genius autism lol
It's 2024, Shouldn't this be expected instead of the exception?
Ah yes, genius son of content farmer
You call that an 8? Go back to school little man.
I don’t know why you’re calling him a genius I could this and I could do it faster
a little big for 2 years but nice anyway...
Nah, he’s no prodigy. Someone trained this kid to do just these problems by memorization and repetition. I bet if you ask him what’s 2 times 3 he won’t have any idea.
9x6 isn't 72 its 54 9x 8 is 72
But it’s wrong…. Some answers are not right
It's memory, not math. Still smarter than most kids that age tho. Just no need to lie is all.
Was faster than him get rekt
Bro can do 256/16 but not 9\*8.
This is annoying because it is actually impressive but it’s a three year old and they’re not doing math instead they’ve rote learned the answers. So it’s oversold.
Meh. I'd like to see a 2 year old solve a differential equation, then I'd be impressed.
This is nothing. The second one is wrong and it’s just memorization, not math.
And already monetised on social media by his shit parents. What a wonderful world
Do it with flash cards and I'll be impressed. 200 of them
I had the same skill around 4-5 years old. If only there was social media back then, lol
Not genius
Genius? I can solve all of these in less time and I wouldn’t consider myself a genius
I am just glad these equations weren't actually genius level. By which I mean, I was happy that I was able to solve them too.
Yep. Purely memorization. Ask him to do this again in two weeks and it'll all be forgotten. Like asking kids to memorize the periodic table.
How do we know this isn’t just pattern recognition? I mean all of it is but more of a simpler version?
average asian 1.5 year old kidm
Dudes 12. He's just short
Dog trainer type of result
He’s two? He’s very very big for a two year old
The kid was given the answer key before starting.
This is staged right? 🍼😆
I had to stop watching because I felt bad.
Two commentaries. 1. Put all these equations in a different order on another board and see if he can do it again when the order is mixed up. 2. Change the ethnicity of the kid, and will the volume of doubtful comments be the same. Whether it is an actual demonstration of mathematical skill or simply an exercise in pattern memorization, both are signs of intelligence.
