4-year-old numberist

Post by Jon O'Neill »

Anyone seen this kid Acer on Instagram / TikTok? https://www.instagram.com/daddylmg/
If these are legitimately being solved in real time then this kid is surely coming for the GOAT position, or may already be up there as there are some seriously good bullet solves.
Even if they're not being solved by him, it's extremely impressive that he can recall the solutions.

Yeah I stuck him in one of the spoilers threads cos technically they are :)

Can't be sure about legitimacy, but they look legit, and as one of the comments said, you try getting a 4 year old to learn a script and recite it that convincingly - easier to do the maths! School will be in for a fun time when he has to spend the first two years learning to add up to 10.

Definitely feels like some working out beforehand then filming for some. Like fair play if he's coming up with this method in 2 seconds, but seems unlikely: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSKpqO7CKnC/. Clearly is very smart though, and fluent with numbers. Unless it is entirely as it seems, would love to see the process of him actually working them out.

Surely you would live stream it to avoid the obvious suspicion?
