4-year-old numberist

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?

[Patrick Thompson]

I’m very sceptical this is genuine, it’s a pretty tough 4 large and I reckon it would be missed by the vast majority of aptertites.

In this instance learning a script is impressive, but way more realistic than what this kid is apparently doing which is coming up with a solution barely even looking at the numbers or doing any working out. He's clearly a smart kid to be able to reproduce the solution. But he would be in genius / savant territory if he can do that barely looking. I suspect some judicious editing. One thing geezer could do is record it live & flick between channels to show it's live, then lets see how the kid does.

Fake, not really that impressive in the general scheme of things, and you have to wonder about the personality of the geezer setting this up.

As John says above, he's clearly not spending any time working it out. Obviously scripted.

Also in this one he was shouting that the contestants only got 607 even though he definitely wasn't paying attention to the contestant declaring 607.

I mean the most generous interpretation is that what you see on camera is a reconstruction of events.
