    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.

    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.

    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).

    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 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).

    In the second, (5×4×3×2)/2 = 60

    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.

    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.

  • @AyanaSioux

    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)

    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.

    The 14% is a little misleading, because it’s 14% of a set of very complex, tough challenges. It could probably handle 95% of the tasks on UpWork. (And a huge slug of typical PRs in mid-scale systems.)

    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.

    One thing everyone is missing in my opinion is, if you are not smart enough like Wu then you don't have right to feed yourself, coz AI will be everywhere, right??? So, what if someone smashes you on the street and tells you that you are not allowed to walk on street coz you are not strong enough!!! You may call this unethical, but in my opinion building such AI tools is more unethical, coz that will lead to more unhappy society and we all know what an unhappy society can do to each other. That's my personal opinion.
