The wonderful lesson of a 7 year old child to his teacher

Impeccable, funny and intelligent. This is how a seven-year student solved a mathematics exercise. It is not the first time, nor the last, that an ambiguous statement brings out a teacher through a wonderful (future) mind.

His name is Jaime, he is seven years old and he is a crack. Who knows if a new Euclid, Newton or Gauss, ... or, sweeping for home, Echegaray, Torroja or Catalá, ...

The fact is that Jaime's father, a mining engineer, wanted to share on Twitter the wonderful work of his son. A mathematics exercise impeccably solved (except for some clueless teacher).

Even at first glance it is difficult to identify Jaime's genius. The same thing that should have happened to his teacher. The answer is not correct when it is the same exercise (with a bad statement) that you have put throughout your life to thousands of students who have answered the same.

'The following numbers' can also mean 'the numbers correlative to those proposed in the statement', and that is what Jaime interpreted, writing them in figures.



The tweet has been viralized in hours. More than 13,000 shares and 22,000 likes for an account with few updates. The proof that the reader sympathizes with an intelligent student and capable of seeing and interpreting reality in an original and different way than the majority does.
