1. a^2-b^2 = (a+b)*(a-b) = 500*10 2. here 2 letters must be arranged in an ordered way in 5 distinct positions so 5c2(for 1 and 2) = 10. For the remaining 3 positions - 3 different letters are there so 3*2*1 In total =. 10*3*2*1 = 60 3. MATHLETE is repeating and so every 8th letter will end in E(word's ending) so 2008 which is a multiple of 8 will end in E. Then 2009 and 2010 letters are M and A respectively.

Bro, you can practice 'similar' problems for a year. But he read the question, understood the question, found the solution (let's say he recalled a similar question', then did the calculation...all in less time than it took the examiner to read the first sentence of the question.

And correction IOI is not just statistics, it can contain any programming questions related to real-world modeled into coding problem

[@MayankXOR]

It's really admirable how Scott is able to solve those questions at a very young age in front of a crowd, He is just extraordinary. But when you think about it, the questions are not really at a very brilliant level. For instance, 1. It's literally a difference of squares and the very fundamental identity a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b) can be used, So 255²-245²=(255-245)(255+245)=5000. 2. This one is a pretty classical question in permutations and combinations classes. If 1 is to the left of 2, Then there are 4 places 1 can be i.e. 1----, -1---, --1--, ---1-. Similarly 2 can be placed in 10 total places. The other numbers can be arranged anywhere resulting in 10*3!=10*6=60 3. The word 'MATHLETE' has 8 letters and 'A' is at the 2nd position, that means 'A' will also occur at every position of the form (8k+2) where 'k' is a whole number. Since 2010(mod8) = 2, i.e, 2010 can be represented as 8k+2 for some integer 'k', you know the position 2010 must contain 'A'. Any number 'x' with the property x(mod8) = 2 will possess the letter 'A' Now, my argument is that while Scott is indeed a CS and Math prodigy, the questions proposed in the competition are not really the level they should be. Anyone with even 10 hours of practice can ace these questions in seconds. They feel really complex if you don't have a strong grasp over the subject but for someone who has been given this training at a very early stage in life, these questions are a piece of cake. I bet if this was a Chinese or Indian test, he would probably not get the fastest answer. For instance when I heard about Scott getting the questions blazingly fast, I tried to attempt them myself without having any idea what the questions were and I was able to get the answers nearly as fast as Wu(I was about 4-5 seconds slower than Scott because ofcourse I'm not a prodigy and I'm 17). It's really harsh to see Scott being known as the guy who solved the math competition questions while he should be known for his Google kickstart participation and others contributions which are way more appreciable than those 3 questions.

[@qaz3433]

@@MayankXOR In that cas how would someone with 10 hours of practice ace these questions in seconds if they wouldn't know what questions are going to come up? So therefore only if you have a strong grasp ie life time. So, If you are fed this style of education as a child like you do in China you start noticing patterns. So unless you meant to say that if you were around this education your whole life AND had 10 hours of practice you could ace these questions in seconds then the questions are probably not as easy as you say and require a strong background.

These questions have patterns and chinese parents sent their kids to training camps where these techniques are taught. Kids have to practice these questions repeatedly every day. Source: another Chinese guy who went through this BS in early childhood.

[@iforget6940]

What's your opinion on it like how your parents thought you if I may ask

blah blah blah blah

We could solve the first question as 255^2 - 245^2= (250+5)^2-(250-5)^2 and by using binomial rule and sequence it will equal 2×summation of secon tems in binomial whic is 2×2C1×250×5 equal 5000 i know that can be solved by diff between two square but this way is generlized form to solve question if we have power greater than 2 The third question as the mathlete repeated every 8 letters so 2010/8 =126(1/4) by taking reminder 1/4 and make base equal 8 like 2/8 it will be second letter A

[@parvizsharifi263]

he did not calculate, he knew from quiz training books the answer to 255^2 - 245^2.. he just answered. Its like 4+4 = 8 , you hardly put brain cells to calculate, you just know from experience its 8

[@user-xu6ni2xd8c]

First one , ( a+b)( a-b)= a²-b² means ( 255+245)(255-245)= 500×10= 5000 .more more practice esy , but he was super intelligent too

[@shashanktiwari4442]

I believe he had practiced so much that he had already solved those questions before while practicing so he recalled the answers and told instantly..bcoz its literally inhuman to solve it that fast

Nah, if you have good genetics you can

Mod(2010,8)=2 , the second letter is A

[@ai-tools-search]

i'm dumb and have no idea what's mod()

[@sachins5784]

​@@ai-tools-search Divide 2010 with 8 using division and Chek the reminder

[@samsonbankole3761]

​@@ai-tools-searchof you divide 2010 by 8 repeatedly, you get a remainder of 2. That's what mod means

[@Anonymous_Utuber]

The 3rd Questions Solutions is:- Just count the letters in the single word MATHLETE which is 8, then divide 2010/8= 251 and the remainder is 2 . Count the letter in that word which is on second position . Therefore the answer is "A" which is on 2nd place......... But its really fascinating that Scott Wu is able to answer these question very rapidly in there teenage...... Thats why he is founder of Cognition now..:):)

For the MATHLETE question: 2010/8 (because MATHLETE has 8 letters), 231.25, 1/4 of 8 is 2, so the 2nd letter in MATHLETE = A!

[@rickdeckard9810]

The questions are actually from a pool and they're given ahead of time to the students who've memorized them and just waiting to regurgitate the info, it's not actually "on the fly".

[@michaelmcwhirter]

These are some of the greatest comments in the comment section ever haha We are very well seeing the spearheading of the AI revolution happen amongst these conversations 🔥

[@nirmalmanoj]

@4:38 IOI is not an Olympiad focused on statistics. In simple terms, it involves participants competing to solve programming puzzles. Essentially, participants write code to solve these puzzles, and they earn scores when their solutions run efficiently and correctly on test cases. It is generally considered the second hardest Olympiad after the International Mathematical Olympiad. Regardless, almost all participants at the international level in all top Olympiads (math, informatics, physics, etc.) are incredibly talented people.

worry about china in future, in recent years there have been candidates who topped IOI, which is way tougher than 2010s

Why doesn't Cognition AI let Devin to work for them? I mean that's it, there is not point to even hire Scott wu if you have something to good like Devin right?

[@TheHardikupadhyay87]

i asked chatgpt the first question and it says its 18 not 60 . and this is the reasoning In the arrangement where the digit 1 is to the left of the digit 2, there are indeed more possibilities than initially considered. When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the second position: There are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, which gives 3 ! 3! permutations. Total arrangements for this case: 1 × 1 × 3 ! 1×1×3! = 6 6. When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the third position: Again, there are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, resulting in 3 ! 3! permutations. Total arrangements for this case: 1 × 1 × 3 ! 1×1×3! = 6 6. When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the fourth position: Once more, there are 3 remaining digits (3, 4, 5) to be placed in the last three positions, yielding 3 ! 3! permutations. Total arrangements for this case: 1 × 1 × 3 ! 1×1×3! = 6 6. Adding up the arrangements from each case: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 6+6+6=18 Upon reevaluation, the total number of such integers where the digit 1 is to the left of the digit 2 is indeed 18, not 60. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I could do all this in my sleep when i was his age highschool or college. Now im working for a couple of years as a swe. There just a matter of practice and actually really basic questions

What I like is that the Wus and their partners took off their shoes before entering the workspace.

[@satyarajrana5702]

Well, to be honest the questions in the beginning aren't really difficult. You can easily solve them if you know basic Algebra and Permutation and Combinations. Solving them that fast tho, requires a lot of practice. I could solve them in around 15 seconds.

[@ShivamRaj-is6oq]

those were eays questions though!!! hsi speed is nice!

[@skankhunt6917]

1:35 2010 mod 8 = 2 answer is obviously A. And it is pretty easy to compute it in your head.
