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.

1:36 For this question, we do this: The pattern is: MATHLETEMATHLETEMATHLETE... we have to find the 2010th position. So, the number of letters in the word 'MATHLETE' = 8 When we divide 2010 by 8 The remainder we get is 2 (2010-8*251) So, the 2nd letter in the word 'MATHLETE' is the correct answer (which is A).

This shows that he worked hard in it. He probably solved so many questions and equations already to the extent that he memorized it. He also memorized the question types (solving too many of them) so he doesnt need to read the entire Q to understand what it is. I know this because I used to do it too and I am no math genius, it was just easier that way. He is smart but he is more of a hard worker and his main intelligence comes from acknowledging this fact. In summary hard work> being smart but being smart is also necessary to acknowledge this fact. Thank you.
IOI is basically a programming competition, where you solve mathematical problems with efficient algorithms. The solutions are automatically tested and there's a time limit you have to pass. Many participants compete both in IOI and IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad).
@@abdennacerlachiheb319 In IOI Syllabus graphs and trees are under mathematics, strings under data stuctures and dynamic programming under algorithms and complexity. Syllabus defines what kind of mathematical knowledge might be needed for problems, so that's why I said 'mathematical'. You can't make it to IOI team unless you know your math.
1:15 Very easy! The 8 letter word "MATHLETE" is being repeated. You want to know what letter is number 2010. Then you use the 8 times table. 800 + 800 + 400 = 2000. Then 10 remains, that gives you one MATHLETE, and the beginning two letters of the next MATHLETE: "MA". Thus the answer is "A".
Math bee competitions are never about the difficulty of math questions (for that, have a look at IMO). All of the questions in math bee-ish competitions are really easy, and the deciding factor almost every time is how fast you can solve that easy question.
First question: 255^2-245^2=(255-245)(255+245)=10*500=5000 Second question: There are 5!=120 permutations of numbers, in half of them 1 is to the left of 2, so it's 60. Third question: Compute the remainder of 2010 when divided by 8. Since 1000=8*125, you can look only at the last three digits, so it's the remainder of 10 by 8, which is 2. The second letter in mathlete is a. Can I found an AI company now? In any case, this is standard math olympiad prep. Other people who also knew this are Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison.
2nd question, after 16 letters the characters starts to repeat, so 2010/16 is 125.625, now skip the .625 part and focus on 125, 16*125 is 2000, 2010-2000 = 10, the 16 characters can perfectly repeat 125 times and they make 2000 characters in total, so now the only thing you've to do is check which character is in or will come in the 10th position, which is A. 😅 Okay I overlooked, they're repeating after 8th characters so yeah you can still do it, 2010/8 = 251.25, 251*8= 2008, 2010-2008= 2, and you get A.
The digits question is a nice entry level question. Requires knowing that 1 followed by a 2 can be achieved 10 ways and for each way, you can order 435 in 6 ways, so 6x10=60.
@@SimKieu This is also a useful method by first asking 'how many ways can we order the 5 digits' i.e. 5! and then we need to remove any instance when 2 appears before 1 i.e. 1/2 the time because of symmetry.

He is definitely very smart but regarding the quiz questions shown in the beginning, I am certain that he had practiced similar questions before the actual event. That's why he was able to answer without the question finishing because he knew what the question was from his previous practice.
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.
I've been to one of those competitions (just state not national level) and you can't know the questions beforehand because they're new, and at the national level they're really just good at speed reading the questions and extracting what they need. Although it is possible they've seen a similar type question somewhere else before but it's not guaranteed.
@@magicalhippo There's a also a possibility that it has some pattern which doesn't require solving the entire question. And maybe he used that to solve the question. Though that's still impressive, but not like actually finding the square of both numbers and then subtracting.
I mean they didn't build a llm, i think they have stitched a software engineer workflow maybe on top of gpt4 model . And maybe worked extensively on fine tunning it
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.
@qaz3433When I said "strong grasp over the subject", I was not referring to the question practice, but having the "Theory" cleared in mind. I hope you know that there is a difference between "Practice" and "Strong grasp".
@qaz3433 Certainly, If you don't know what type of questions are coming up you would require more practice than just 10 hours. But you also know what kind of questions have come up in the previous year competition which give you an idea of the most relevant field. For example: almost everytime, MATHCOUNTS asks a question related to pattern, permutation and combination. In that case, it would require maybe a little more practice(apart from the time given to theory). I am saying all of this with reference to my own experience because I was also given similar training at a young age(not as young as Scott).
@@MayankXOR You are missing the point. Those 3 questions are presented as examples because they are accessible to a wider audience. Of course they could also show him solving Codeforces 3500 rated questions or solving IOI problems, but that would be pointless as most people are not even aware of the purpose of these contests.
It’s more than math. Looking at Scott’s body language, he was speed reading the questions from the moment the question appeared and was solving for it before the host even began reading the question.

lots of people knows it. but its Scot's calculation speed. also many people won't be able to calculate in the heads(without pen/paper/calculator) even if have long time.
i can do above mentioned calculation in mind in 2-3 minutes. most people in the world won't be able to do so in a whole day. see scot wu is 100-200 times faster than me in this calculation.
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.
Man this video is great! 🔥Where did you get the idea to make it and how did you funnel all the research you gathered to create something so educational?
All of these questions are just patterns that you can learn by repetitions. In the same way you learn language. The only thing is that he is very fast which basically means he is fluent and he knows that you need to read question from last sentence and ignore the rest.
@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.
For the first question (255^2-245^2), he memorized the difference of squares formula, which states a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b). If you know this, solving is super trivial and anybody can solve this problem in under 10 seconds.
The questions were honestly not that difficult. 1. 255^2 - 245^2... come on guys, it's just (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 in reverse. 2. Anybody who has had an INTRODUCTION to P&C will be able to crack it. 3. MATHLETE MATHLETE MATHLETE is a recurring pattern with 8 letters, so 2010 mod 8 = 2 which means the 2nd character of the pattern ('A'). This was actually the easiest. Regarding his speed, it's just a matter of practice. I hate math or mathematicians being unnecessarily glorified, the narrator should have researched a bit to see how simple these questions were. If only people in the comments section knew that they could very easily reach this level too...
Saying someone should drop out of Harvard is silly, if you have a degree; that's something to fall back on. If you have a Harvard full ride, stay in and take the easiest classes (whatever the rich kids take.) If paying, I don't know; Harvard's expensive. I went to local college, then got an MBA in finance from the online offering of a state school.
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
In the first question you have to do (255-245)×(255+245) = 10×500 = 5000 In the second, (5×4×3×2)/2 = 60 In the third, the (remainder of 2010÷8) = 2. And find the letter at that position which is A.
The first question and third question he can probably solve on the spot realistically usually a few math tricks, but the second problem I'm almost certain he probably did that problem before and just knew the answer. Or at least a very similar one and then just substituted out the difference.
12:22 You have an error in your video. It can't solve 14% of coding task. It can solve 14% of the SWE-bench which is a software engineer benchmark. Thats two different things. Another mistake in my view is, the argumentation of his coding skills and the ability to solve hard problem. Yes it is more likely that a more experience developer solves a hard problem. But there is no garantee. A professor can try to solve a hard software problem for years, but at the end it could be solved by a kid developer in the basement. It has something to do with creativity and thinking outside the box, not with education
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.
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".
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..:):)
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?
It's just the beginning. Imagine what this team could do with an AI like Devin. They are creating an instrument for themselves to start making some really cool stuff.
Last time the media hyped about a genius with an amazing startup we had FTX. Just saying…. Scott Wu certainly is a top competitive programmer but this hype seems like the typical pump and dump startup from deep pockets (Oh wait Peter Thiel as investor)
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 🔥
wake up, these are marketing campaigns. On these quizes usually they give you a book with quiz and answers. So you just need to remember the correct answer. he did not calculated, just answered what he remembred from quiz book.
The mathlete one wasn't hard, but in that speed, yes. You just count how many letters are in mathlete which is 8. So you divide 2010 by 8 to see how many times you can fit that word in 2010 times. But it's not complete, you get a fraction. 2010/8 is 251.25. that means it's only 1/4 through the last word. Because there are 8 letters, 1/4 of the word is the letter A. Here's why: M .125 (1/8) A .25 (2/8) T .375 (3/8) H 50(4/8) L .625(5/8) E .75(6/8) T .875 (7/8) E 1 (8/8)
i'm ngl those questions where pretty easy, I mean I did them within seconds too (although I read the question a lot slower), and I'm by no means a math genuis, what's more impressive tho is his codeforces rating.
Ahh i used to prep for these olympiads in middle school. he is indeed very smart. most of these are kinda easy-ish but still, very impressive. What I think is that cognition labs has marketed their product wonderfully. Because devin is not the first of its kind. there are a lot of such intelligent agents available. this shows the power of marketing.
Im still very sceptical. To me it seems more like, that they faked the demo or prearagned it, to get investor money, to solve this problem. They could not even write a propper job description on their page. Yes they are very talented programer, but this means nothing when it comes to solve hard ai problems

The glazing is crazy, you know there's specific preparations and optimal ways to solve those math comp problems which they practice rigorously beforehand right?
yeah it's obvious when you realize that he doesn't even wait for the question to be finished, this is not genius, purely intensive training. He doesn't think, he knows the questions in advance, purely memory.
If this is the guy who made the thing that will take my job, I ain't even mad anymore. Seeing him, I am ashamed to call myself a developer. I am a dabbler in code by the standard of knowledge he shows.
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
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
bro the 2nd question is 5!/2! my friend Heres why; 5 number of object or n=5 2 the number of r taken at the the time, that is 1 and 2. Its a linear permutation and the formula for it if it is conditional then, n! / nk1,nk2... so 5!/2! is equal to 60
Wu is a great genius not easily come across in everyday life. At his and his team calibre, there could be more things they can do together to a full human capacity. I just can't wait to see his god-level calibre. 555
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.
What's your take on those of us with ADHD or learning disabilities going into tech? I was a lackluster HS student and only became quite good at mathematics later in life (I tutor some of it now!) and am considering an IT degree. Would love an honest response!
There are plenty of very successful tech people who have ADHD, so it's definitely not a disadvantage. Imo, it's better to pick a project you're passionate in building, and then learn the tech to build it out, rather than just go to school to learn based on a syllabus. Good luck!
I have ADD, was a college dropout and had a high degree of success in tech. You don’t have to get a degree. You just have to work hard and get opportunities to succeed. Comparing a fine-tuned model implemented in GitHub Copilot is not comparable to what Devin is doing and there doesn’t seem to anything that Devin is doing that is special other then execution and a team of smart people. That doesn’t mean they can create a successful product, but it does set a high expectation for them to succeed. Good luck to the Devin team. OpenAI is doing something similar as they target AGI. 😄

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.

Nope. If he says it's a problem, you can't solve it😊
It was important for him to be introduced in the promo video as "human", since the world frequently forgets that.
1:36 For this question, we do this:
The pattern is:
MATHLETEMATHLETEMATHLETE...
we have to find the 2010th position.
So, the number of letters in the word 'MATHLETE' = 8
When we divide 2010 by 8
The remainder we get is 2 (2010-8*251)
So, the 2nd letter in the word 'MATHLETE' is the correct answer (which is A).
sure but his speed...
The answer is "A":
2010th letter is in the position 2009. 2009mod8=1

1->A -> 1mod8=1
2->T -> 2mod8=2

This shows that he worked hard in it. He probably solved so many questions and equations already to the extent that he memorized it. He also memorized the question types (solving too many of them) so he doesnt need to read the entire Q to understand what it is. I know this because I used to do it too and I am no math genius, it was just easier that way. He is smart but he is more of a hard worker and his main intelligence comes from acknowledging this fact. In summary hard work> being smart but being smart is also necessary to acknowledge this fact. Thank you.
IOI has nothing to do with statistics. That was just the statistics page of IOI website
Thanks for clarifying!
Yeah, it's problem-solving using algorithms
IOI is basically a programming competition, where you solve mathematical problems with efficient algorithms. The solutions are automatically tested and there's a time limit you have to pass. Many participants compete both in IOI and IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad).

This is honestly wild to see something like this come to fruition
1:15 Very easy! The 8 letter word "MATHLETE" is being repeated. You want to know what letter is number 2010. Then you use the 8 times table. 800 + 800 + 400 = 2000. Then 10 remains, that gives you one MATHLETE, and the beginning two letters of the next MATHLETE: "MA". Thus the answer is "A".
Math bee competitions are never about the difficulty of math questions (for that, have a look at IMO). All of the questions in math bee-ish competitions are really easy, and the deciding factor almost every time is how fast you can solve that easy question.

Second question:
There are 5!=120 permutations of numbers, in half of them 1 is to the left of 2, so it's 60.
Third question:
Compute the remainder of 2010 when divided by 8. Since 1000=8*125, you can look only at the last three digits, so it's the remainder of 10 by 8, which is 2. The second letter in mathlete is a.

2nd question, after 16 letters the characters starts to repeat, so 2010/16 is 125.625, now skip the .625 part and focus on 125, 16*125 is 2000, 2010-2000 = 10, the 16 characters can perfectly repeat 125 times and they make 2000 characters in total, so now the only thing you've to do is check which character is in or will come in the 10th position, which is A. 😅
Okay I overlooked, they're repeating after 8th characters so yeah you can still do it, 2010/8 = 251.25, 251*8= 2008, 2010-2008= 2, and you get A.

He is definitely very smart but regarding the quiz questions shown in the beginning, I am certain that he had practiced similar questions before the actual event. That's why he was able to answer without the question finishing because he knew what the question was from his previous practice.
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.
@@t.yop9 Or maybe he had seen and solved that exact question while practicing for the exam.
I've been to one of those competitions (just state not national level) and you can't know the questions beforehand because they're new, and at the national level they're really just good at speed reading the questions and extracting what they need. Although it is possible they've seen a similar type question somewhere else before but it's not guaranteed.
@@magicalhippo There's a also a possibility that it has some pattern which doesn't require solving the entire question. And maybe he used that to solve the question. Though that's still impressive, but not like actually finding the square of both numbers and then subtracting.

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.
🤯
Woah dude, Indians and Chinese
@qaz3433When I said "strong grasp over the subject", I was not referring to the question practice, but having the "Theory" cleared in mind. I hope you know that there is a difference between "Practice" and "Strong grasp".
@qaz3433 Certainly, If you don't know what type of questions are coming up you would require more practice than just 10 hours. But you also know what kind of questions have come up in the previous year competition which give you an idea of the most relevant field. For example: almost everytime, MATHCOUNTS asks a question related to pattern, permutation and combination. In that case, it would require maybe a little more practice(apart from the time given to theory). I am saying all of this with reference to my own experience because I was also given similar training at a young age(not as young as Scott).
@@MayankXOR You are missing the point. Those 3 questions are presented as examples because they are accessible to a wider audience. Of course they could also show him solving Codeforces 3500 rated questions or solving IOI problems, but that would be pointless as most people are not even aware of the purpose of these contests.
It’s more than math. Looking at Scott’s body language, he was speed reading the questions from the moment the question appeared and was solving for it before the host even began reading the question.
(255-245 =10) times (255+245 = 500) = 5000. All you need is to know the difference of squares method.
Oh come on.... Everybody knows it but this guy is a legend
Thanks, I didn't know this
Folks, it’s not about how to solve this problem at his age. It how fast he answer it and proven over and over of grandmaster level at his early age.

The first question is pretty easy if you know the trick. 255^2 - 245^2 = (255+245) * (255 - 245) = 500 * 10 = 5000.
Seriously man who doesn't know it 🙃
lots of people knows it. but its Scot's calculation speed. also many people won't be able to calculate in the heads(without pen/paper/calculator) even if have long time.
but he didnt even wait for him to say out the 2nd integer bro
he needn't wait. he could read the question on big screen, or his personal screen. he can read faster that presenter speaks.
i can do above mentioned calculation in mind in 2-3 minutes. most people in the world won't be able to do so in a whole day. see scot wu is 100-200 times faster than me in this calculation.

@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.

Not a Harvard dropout, a Harvard skipper.
This is truly revolutionary. Over multiple iterations of the product it’s ought to get scarily good.
For the first question (255^2-245^2), he memorized the difference of squares formula, which states a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b). If you know this, solving is super trivial and anybody can solve this problem in under 10 seconds.
hats off to you already if you had that kind of memorization skills
The questions were honestly not that difficult.
1. 255^2 - 245^2... come on guys, it's just (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 in reverse.
2. Anybody who has had an INTRODUCTION to P&C will be able to crack it.
3. MATHLETE MATHLETE MATHLETE is a recurring pattern with 8 letters, so 2010 mod 8 = 2 which means the 2nd character of the pattern ('A'). This was actually the easiest.
Regarding his speed, it's just a matter of practice. I hate math or mathematicians being unnecessarily glorified, the narrator should have researched a bit to see how simple these questions were. If only people in the comments section knew that they could very easily reach this level too...
Saying someone should drop out of Harvard is silly, if you have a degree; that's something to fall back on. If you have a Harvard full ride, stay in and take the easiest classes (whatever the rich kids take.) If paying, I don't know; Harvard's expensive. I went to local college, then got an MBA in finance from the online offering of a state school.
so then why was he cheating (=lying in the given context) in the devin ai video clips?!
Actually, those questions are not hard, but speed of solving them is fascinating.
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
Or, just good genetics
In the first question you have to do
(255-245)×(255+245) = 10×500 = 5000
In the second, (5×4×3×2)/2 = 60
In the third, the (remainder of 2010÷8) = 2. And find the letter at that position which is A.
The first question and third question he can probably solve on the spot realistically usually a few math tricks, but the second problem I'm almost certain he probably did that problem before and just knew the answer. Or at least a very similar one and then just substituted out the difference.
After building the product, who gone a debug the code base, Devin Itself or human developer
In the demo it showed, ai encountered error. Then it added a print statement to debug and fix it.
Bro just lied on the resume from very first day.
He knows what the formulas are, and how to apply them efficiently.
12:22 You have an error in your video. It can't solve 14% of coding task. It can solve 14% of the SWE-bench which is a software engineer benchmark. Thats two different things. Another mistake in my view is, the argumentation of his coding skills and the ability to solve hard problem. Yes it is more likely that a more experience developer solves a hard problem. But there is no garantee. A professor can try to solve a hard software problem for years, but at the end it could be solved by a kid developer in the basement. It has something to do with creativity and thinking outside the box, not with education
Yeah, math geniuses, this kid is *12* years old, and answered even before the sentence finished. Show some mercy.
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

When 1 is in the first position and 2 is in the fourth position:

3

3! permutations.
Total arrangements for this case:

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.
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".
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.........

Sh*t I said 50,000, missing by a zero can crash markets and destroy lives. This guy is insanely good.
The mathlete one wasn't hard, but in that speed, yes.
You just count how many letters are in mathlete which is 8. So you divide 2010 by 8 to see how many times you can fit that word in 2010 times. But it's not complete, you get a fraction. 2010/8 is 251.25. that means it's only 1/4 through the last word. Because there are 8 letters, 1/4 of the word is the letter A.
Here's why:
M .125 (1/8)
A .25 (2/8)
T .375 (3/8)
H 50(4/8)
L .625(5/8)
E .75(6/8)

The glazing is crazy, you know there's specific preparations and optimal ways to solve those math comp problems which they practice rigorously beforehand right?
yeah it's obvious when you realize that he doesn't even wait for the question to be finished, this is not genius, purely intensive training.
He doesn't think, he knows the questions in advance, purely memory.
Fr it's honestly suprising how easy it is to convince people.
If this is the guy who made the thing that will take my job, I ain't even mad anymore. Seeing him, I am ashamed to call myself a developer. I am a dabbler in code by the standard of knowledge he shows.
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
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
bro the 2nd question is 5!/2! my friend
Heres why;
5 number of object or n=5
2 the number of r taken at the the time, that is 1 and 2.
Its a linear permutation and the formula for it if it is conditional then,
n! / nk1,nk2...
so 5!/2! is equal to 60
Wu is a great genius not easily come across in everyday life. At his and his team calibre, there could be more things they can do together to a full human capacity. I just can't wait to see his god-level calibre. 555

3rd question is 2010 mod 8 which is 2 and A is in the second position
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.
What's your take on those of us with ADHD or learning disabilities going into tech? I was a lackluster HS student and only became quite good at mathematics later in life (I tutor some of it now!) and am considering an IT degree. Would love an honest response!
There are plenty of very successful tech people who have ADHD, so it's definitely not a disadvantage. Imo, it's better to pick a project you're passionate in building, and then learn the tech to build it out, rather than just go to school to learn based on a syllabus. Good luck!
I have ADD, was a college dropout and had a high degree of success in tech. You don’t have to get a degree. You just have to work hard and get opportunities to succeed. Comparing a fine-tuned model implemented in GitHub Copilot is not comparable to what Devin is doing and there doesn’t seem to anything that Devin is doing that is special other then execution and a team of smart people. That doesn’t mean they can create a successful product, but it does set a high expectation for them to succeed. Good luck to the Devin team. OpenAI is doing something similar as they target AGI. 😄
You didn't even talk about the most interesting of all agent tools that is actually released and working (because Devin an many others are just videos today), pythagora
you're right, pythagora is also great!
He doesn't have to. It's his youtube channel
Do you think software engineers will be unemployed in the future?
Not entirely but greatly reduce the work force
If that's the case, who will be employed?
I just don't understand how did you find those questions difficult
That is just the beginning can you imagine AI giving you a Health Evaluation.
The 2,3 question are from permutations and combinations which we study when we are 16 year old and he is solving at 12 years and even in on second th proves he is a genius
