[@ernestc5641]

Doesn’t make me feel bad. I used to be a Mathlete, most of these are just memory questions. There are a few ways to approach this if you’re a Mathlete: 1. There is only so much you can possibly ask to 8th graders in a short amount of time, so they just memorize a similar question. For example, 5:50 the rate of liquid decrease in a cone or box is one of the most common questions in the competition, yet near impossible to answer that quickly, unless you’ve seen the format. Jeremey has seen it before and could just regurgitate the same answer with no thoughts. 2. The educated guess. So it’s a bit naughty, but we don’t really do math unreasonably quickly usually, we get an approximate answer using a few tricks. We can plug in easy numbers and go up or down from there, we can cross off things that cancel instantly, or we just solve partially and get an approximate answer. Andrew did exactly that, he solved the top and instantly answered, but got it wrong since the bottom did not cancel perfectly like usual. It was a fair assumption that most mathletes would do for the sake of speed. 3. So there are rules that are followed when making these questions. So it’s a safe guess that all answers will be ‘pretty’ AKA integer or a simple fraction/decimal. It’s also safe to assume there will be about 3 steps, symmetry, or a trick. Anything that goes out of these molds will take longer or make you panic, even if it’s one step. The game is: how well did you memorize similar questions, how quickly and accurately did you guess, and did you spot a trick? I was a master at guessing, but memorization is usually far faster, so I never got anywhere past states. Basically: memory>guesstimates>solve. We’re not robots, we’re magicians; there’s a trick to it.

[@Enter_Zoneless]

The International Goy he’s not wrong, they hire coaches to practice similar styled questions before the competition, and there are always quick methods with these questions, so who is the idiot now?

[@DontPronounceThis]

@@Enter_Zoneless Both of you, obviously. The two of you are idiots who will never be 1/10th as intelligent as any of the people in this video. Of course they do a lot of practice. But the sheer ability to calculate that quickly is not something that ANYONE (such you either of you) could actually do. All of the people in this video are genetically superior to you and are highly gifted at mathematics obviously. Get over it. It SHOULD make Op jealous. They're smarter than him and there's nothing he can do about it except lie to himself that he could do the same thing with the same amount of practice that they've had. Both of you are stupid, jealous idiots. They're geniuses and you never will be.

[@cdrl3170]

@@DontPronounceThis lmao HAHAH what's your problem...i think you're genuinely stupid if you think that guy is lying. nobody said that anyone can calculate as fast as them, we're just saying that there's shortcuts to being THAT fast.

[@DontPronounceThis]

@@cdrl3170 I'm smarter than you and you are physically incapable of comprehending how stupid you are and how inferior your prefrontal cortex is compared to theirs. OP is full of shit and making things up, there are no shortcuts to being able to solve random problems that rapidly. You have to be a genius to do what they are able to do. There are no shortcuts to being a genius and being able to compute in your head that quickly and accurately. The only "shortcut" there is is called learning how to solve those types of problems before they actually pop up on the screen, that way you don't have to reason things out from scratch. AND THAT'S NOT EVEN A SHORTCUT REALLY. You're a dumbfuck and if you are asian, you are a disgrace to your people. Go ask the asians in this math competition if there are shortcuts to this. They will tell you there aren't.

[@cdrl3170]

​@@DontPronounceThis omg you must really be miserable in life to be able to think in such a horrifying way LMAO. just so you know, i'm from the top high school in singapore (an asian country that continuously tops academic rankings together with china). my grades are about average there but it's because of how everyone is so smart at this school since it's ranked first. but i have a bunch of very intelligent friends and trust me, even they wouldn't be able to do all this (even though we're older than these kids). i think you just don't understand how to solve these problems, because if you did (like the rest of the people here), you would realise it's almost impossible to solve them without any shortcuts like the OP mentioned. but honestly there is no point in explaining anything to someone as thick-headed as you, so it's fine.

Than you once more, KZbin, for making me stumble upon a video I didn't know I needed to watch, but apparently wanted to

[@redsalmon9966]

Why did they take so much time to think about the third question?

[@redsalmon9966]

The first round

[@ethanmeyer6522]

i thought that too

[@ethanmeyer6522]

Connor Gaughan good point

[@ignsaveingwolf6724]

Connor Gaughan ya i probably shouldn't try rethinking and just look stupid tomorrow

[@vjeff777]

your dumbass didn't even watch it. One of them tapped the buzzer before the host even finished asking the question.

[@Lange0716]

55:40 "100 chicks sit peacefully in a circle" yeah right, that'll be the day!

[@theultimatehopia149]

hoping that they are doing this every year

[@junedmg8703]

I am seeing every question in 0.25x still can't complete reading it, and these kids are answering in no time

[@singhanmolpreet5935]

This makes me feel dumb.

[@ravikumarsingh5116]

The semifinals questions were so much easier than questions that were asked before! 🤔 I agree it's still pretty impossible to solve at the speed Luke was doing but I was able to solve every question in the semi finals...not the case for the questions asked before...😅

[@firsttouchgaming1377]

Feeling amazed to a quick answer 3

[@umangchaudhary18]

Legends!

[@jimmybutler8240]

Pikachu joke was probably the worst in the history of public speaking

[@sureyoucan1613]

that was awful

[@danny-xm8xq]

i physically recoiled when i heard it

[@Slimshady-db5sv]

Man.... how could the Luke answer correctly without listening the question completely ? Do they prepare these questions before quiz ?

[@chroniknight7760]

Abu Ahmed They read it on the screen in front of them.

[@danielguo6496]

That question is very popular

[@tasnimanika8123]

Abu Ahmed it was on the screen, and they train to eliminate all the fluff out of the question and just look at the numbers, that way they get the answer without listening to the whole thing

[@charlescunningham1872]

woah

[@gunsandkithes6900]

YOU FOOL, THE QUESTION APPEARS ON THE SCREEN ! !!!

I just logged into my KZbin after 6 years and found it in my feed 😊

[@pashampramodkumar7674]

Excellent Talent of All

[@TheBabySphee]

dam that andrew cai goes to my school, qvms. Jeremy too. They both have ranked 1st in numerous competitions, like jeremy zhou got 1st in ap physics

[@jack.1.]

Sphee you are lucky to go to a school

[@ericpeng6497]

Jack Ward You are lucky to be alive.

[@jack.1.]

Eric Penguin it was down to my swimming skills, I actually meant a good school in my first message also. I guess I was complaining about how much I don’t enjoy my school.

[@gordonjin2791]

do you live in missouri city? they go to quail valley im pretty sure.

[@allenliang4169]

yeah, at our school we have aps in 7th and apush in 8th

[@1ClassicalMusicFan]

49:00 -- 49:50 Both semi-finalists missed this question. (I) The purple line is perpendicular to the line 2x + 3y = -1, the slope of which is -2/3. (II) Hence, the slope of the purple line is 3/2. (III) The purple line intersects the x-axis at (x, 0). Now this point and the point (-3, 5) are on the purple line, so (0-5) / (x-(-3)) = 3/2. We can solve for x and the answer is -19/3.

[@ooXxDrUmMeRxXoo]

Am I incorrect in assuming a majority of these questions or very similar versions readily available to study before hand?

[@yogiyogiinfy]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Konsistori]

These kids are incredible.

[@IanPhillipsUSA]

Idk what parts everyone else watchee but i tuned in at a random 5 mins somewhere and they got almost every damn question wrong 😂😂

[@diisofficialchannel5011]

It was historic competition

[@manuelramirez8203]

this are the type of competition i will like to be good at!

[@ashdragon8553]

Cameraman: ... action! Luke: 27! Announcer: correct! Everyone: take ur leave! ☺

[@marksaving756]

The given answer to the second question of the Jack-Geoffrey match is incorrect. Because x could equal one, it is impossible to determine m.

[@JhonCasas-tj5xl]

I feel this competition is warmth

[@sunnydays405]

37:49 can anyone tell me why it isn't 2%? There are only two numbers, 6 and 5, that satisfy this right? What is the third number?
