Getting the first 2 u just need to account for the hundredths place, which isn't very hard cuz there's no carrying over addition. And add another thousand or so cuz of the tens place to get the first 2 digits
They're young and is still incredible to find the 2 numbers is not chocking that they did 3 mistakes the most exceptional was just getting at least the 2 first 😕
You can see that it is very competetive because in the end the narrator says applause to the ”2” contestants who won instead of applausing to all 4 participants
what you can't see, it'sa full propaganda world, they want to pretend their nation is full of genius. this is prolly afake, like their whole world. sad for the kids who have to play their roles here...
That’s a lot of stress on children... I hope those kids who didn’t get it correct knows how special they are... just knowing the first number is unbelievable achievement.
Uuuuuggghhh that would be so humiliating😢.... me picturing myself in the competition just heard the instructions im running out of there n say sorry u have the wrong person to do the job🤣🤣🤣
At that time, I was able to do 1-3 digit mental Multiplication in 2-3 seconds, like 354x741. it was all practise and doing mental calculation using abacus. Now, I Can't do 80x88 without thinking for 10-12 seconds. lol. People these days think mind calculations are fake or scripted. some Institution may be fake, but these things are real.
If they don't take that stress now, they will not be successful when they are adult, then they will have to take stress. So better be prepared when you have your support system (parents) so that when they are not, children's can handle it. Stress is part of your life, if not early it will come up later on.
@@danieledegioia9130 you can't be serious m8, i hope you meet those contestants in person one day. There's also a better show for exploring the top brains of the population called 最强大脑 which is much better and harder than the cctv version imo
@@danieledegioia9130 As an asian, (not chinese, closer to pacific islander) this is completely possible. National contests are part of an honor student's life. I'm saying this as I won a High School - College editorial writing contest against the country's literal highest top rated universities, everyone was so nice yet so tense with each other. Everyone looked like they're fighting for their life.
My great grandmother was like these kids.I was always trying to trip her up,I used a calculator and called out numbers as fast as I could,but she would have total as quick as I did.
Abacus mental calculation has long been a major class in many Chinese kindergartens and it’s certainly very possible to see some genius kids like these.
My mum taught me how to do arithmetics including multiplication and division on a abacus when I was around 4. Later when I grew up I learnt that abacus could even do power calculations including root calculations. If one’s an abacus master, using modern calculators will not match with him in some basic arithmetics; it only takes seconds for one to do a 2-figure big-number multiplication on an abacus before anyone can even type down the numbers on their calculator. These kids have abacuses in their mind.
Can confirm. It'll be followed by: You're useless look at the other childran who got all digits right and you only got first 2. My gods you're a disappointment
School is not everything. Life after college might turn out better for you. I couldn’t get a job cuz of my crappy grades. So I had to start my own business. You’ll never know where life takes you :)
To be fair, it's not like these kids are geniuses or something. They don't "happen" to be very good at this, it's a skill; not a talent. They're trained in techniques very specific to this kind of stuff, kind of like how athletes have to train their sport every day. So yeah, don't feel down because of this. It's not a matter of being naturally good or not, just whether your parents put you in a "mental arithmetic" school (those exist in China) or not.
The boy is movings his hands in a specific way, maybe he is using “Abacus” mathematical tool. Actually I think that the girls too but at another level were they are able to not move their hands and to just imagine the Abacus.
I didn´t knew why the abacus still interesting today since a month ago, put it really makes sense to remember the position of (4+1)*x counts vs imagine the writing mehod instead.
When China was working on its first nuclear bomb, the scientists didn't have enough computers so a lot of the calculation was done by hand with the "Abacus"
TYE HAND IS JUST EVERYONES STYLE I ALSO DO ABACUS BIT I DO LIKE I AM PLAYING A GUITAR . IT IS JUST A FOOD FEELING TO DO IT . THE CALCULATIONS HAPPEN IN THE MIN D.
When I do maths calculations I write it in the air and some classmates thought that I was mad.But every child is different and also how they do problems are also different
I like how the first two were imagining a calculator but got it wrong and the other two just stood still as if they were using telepathy. Like they all looked pretty damn cool
The boy was using a pretty advanced technique called the the "air abacus". The second girl was using a more advanced technique, just counting the thousandth's place. She tapped exactly 66 times. The other two have ascended as math gods and have no need for a physical body.
Y'all are just exxgeratting at this point. If parents do that to their child I think the parents are mentally ill. It's not right it can seriously effect a child mental health. Yes, some Asian parents are harse and expect the best but they won't go as far as abusing their kids. This kinds of comments sound like normalizing child abuse and justifying it. I bet their parents of first two kids are proud. Tell me does all Asian parents beat up their children for everything.

Omg is this what non Chinese speakers hear XD I can sorta hear the numbers but I also have to read it on the screen at the same time. If I don’t I would have no idea lol
This audience is way too calm about the perfect scores. If I was in that audience I would be on my knees bowing because I just witnessed the greatest thing since the Ascension of Christ.
While they were displaying the numbers from the answers, I was like "what was the right answer?" after seeing it just 3 seconds ago... I can't even imagine the cerebral processing these kids have. Impressive.
God damn impossible more like. Processing that much information that fast and getting an accurate computation is just plain too difficult and too improbable for me to believe. I personally refuse to believe this wasn’t staged.
@@aaronconner1440 they use an abacus. Its a bunch of rails with beads and they memorize the changes to the abacus in their mind not the numbers themselves. Its how calculations at this speed are possible
@@unityman3133 not to be rude but i seriously doubt anyone’d be able to remember all of the movements and do so fast enough. This whole thing still feels completely staged
@aaronconner1440 a sane individual I too find this to be impossible Even if they have photographic memory it's still beyond belief that they can do this addition so fast consistently for 100 times Like i can barely keep up with the numbers they are saying They have to do that and in the same time add Sounds a bit too impossible for me Some people downgrade this by saying this doesn't require talent They need to be reincarnation of litterely Newton to have a shot at this level of processing speed It's too unlikely
1 and I did it in my head (edit) Okay here we go @Milli borkhataria r/woosh @あんロワリ r/woosh @OraCleii •v• r/woosh @I stole your Jams r/woosh @TheFuturisticIdiot r/woosh
At some point after doing countless additions of numbers below 1000 you develop pattern which is kind of reflex allowing you to see the answer without really calculating it in your head. It's called pattern recognition. But the most brilliant part about this show is how fast the numbers are presented, you need a great ear to rightly hear the numbers and on top of that pay attention to your evergrowing number
It might seem unbelievable but there is a way to do complex arithmetic with the abacus. Once you’ve done enough calculations on it, you can start to use it mentally. It’s what these kids use to do mental arithmetic extremely quickly and accurately.
Notice how they praise the students who are perfect at math, and shame those who just slightly failed. Even game shows are representative of the nature of the Chinese government, neglect those who are imperfect, idolize those who are academically gifted
Being a human calculator used to be *a solid job 200 years ago :-)* Good to see that China is focusing on solid math skills that will help kids to deal with numbers later in life.
@@studiosvatsal4325 I mean, isn’t it cool to have the ability to say “I calculated 100-3 digit numbers in a few seconds and the only tool was my own mind”
Yeah I m going to check out this shit coz everybody commenting this only ...no 1 question how the fuck did they calculated man amazing...I mean 2 person got their answer right
I hope CGTN sees how popular this video has become and how incredible the comments are from around the world. THIS is what we should be showcasing. God bless China!
I have learned all the levels of abacus and can tell they went through intensive training. In my personal opinion, anyone who still uses finger movements could get answer wrong, I keep my eyes open and focus on a spot and I am almost always right. Finger movements are muscle memory but it cannot move faster than your brain or imaginary beads. I see a biggggg abacus when I am calculating, but if I used my finger movements it would slow me down, again everybody is different. I can do 3 digits 20 rows with the same speed but never went further. I would love to try this calculation maybe at slower speed. I was also a teacher in Canada and kids here would not believe me. So I would show them my own demo and show videos like this. I have tried 4 digits 15 rows in my classroom, got correct answer but the speed was slow. Since I am older, I am not as good as I used to be but I can definitely learn. Amazing video.
I was close to a mental breakdown one minute into the video, I couldn't breath well and the world started to spin. It seems my aversion to math hasn't gotten any better over the years.
@@No-xx8rj IQ has nothing to do with mental calculation. IQ assists with problem-solving and thinking of ideas.

jio jio jio the lucky number 999
Omg is this what non Chinese speakers hear XD I can sorta hear the numbers but I also have to read it on the screen at the same time. If I don’t I would have no idea lol
Such an ignorant comment
This audience is way too calm about the perfect scores. If I was in that audience I would be on my knees bowing because I just witnessed the greatest thing since the Ascension of Christ.
While they were displaying the numbers from the answers, I was like "what was the right answer?" after seeing it just 3 seconds ago... I can't even imagine the cerebral processing these kids have. Impressive.
I can't read that fast lol
God damn impossible more like. Processing that much information that fast and getting an accurate computation is just plain too difficult and too improbable for me to believe. I personally refuse to believe this wasn’t staged.
@@aaronconner1440 they use an abacus. Its a bunch of rails with beads and they memorize the changes to the abacus in their mind not the numbers themselves. Its how calculations at this speed are possible
@@unityman3133 not to be rude but i seriously doubt anyone’d be able to remember all of the movements and do so fast enough. This whole thing still feels completely staged
@aaronconner1440 a sane individual
I too find this to be impossible
Even if they have photographic memory it's still beyond belief that they can do this addition so fast consistently for 100 times
Like i can barely keep up with the numbers they are saying
They have to do that and in the same time add
Sounds a bit too impossible for me
Some people downgrade this by saying this doesn't require talent
They need to be reincarnation of litterely Newton to have a shot at this level of processing speed
It's too unlikely
I literally got the goosebumps. Man. They are so intelligent. All four of them. Like I'll lost it the second that person starts reading those numbers
Ahh they should have added some negative numbers, cause we all know that no one can remember what "-1+1" is without reaching for the calculator
1 and I did it in my head

At some point after doing countless additions of numbers below 1000 you develop pattern which is kind of reflex allowing you to see the answer without really calculating it in your head. It's called pattern recognition. But the most brilliant part about this show is how fast the numbers are presented, you need a great ear to rightly hear the numbers and on top of that pay attention to your evergrowing number
The smart kid during the test when he forgot to bring his calculator:
4:12 You should have appreciated the other 2 kids who gave wrong answers too before ending the video. They were almost close to the right answer
Asian mom: why are you crying? you got 100
kid: but I was not the first that handed in the paper.
THIS IS SO DAMN TRUE
Trust me. As an Asian kid. My class always compete for math. When math class over. We all stare at each other saying "WHATS THE ANSWER"
Watching this in a winter night makes it more scarier
It might seem unbelievable but there is a way to do complex arithmetic with the abacus. Once you’ve done enough calculations on it, you can start to use it mentally. It’s what these kids use to do mental arithmetic extremely quickly and accurately.
Yes...documentary I heard on the radio had examples of children as young as 4 and 5 doing incredibly complex calculations with an abacus.
THESE KIDS WILL BE HELPING THE WORLD IN DIFFER WAYS I BELEIVE
The guy who closed his ears hearing all those numbers is a whole *MOOD* 🤣
When you can’t even remember the reason you came here, and people be doing this 👁💧👄💧👁
when the computer started reading the numbers, I though the show was having a laugh and fast forwarded the reading process.
*lesson of the day , never underestimate Asians*
True, because asians are only race specially chinese who can turn impossible to possible 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
never underestimate me
@Nij Jin well said !
I suspect there are other people that you shouldn't underestimate, too.
@Nij Jin straight fact 👏
Notice how they praise the students who are perfect at math, and shame those who just slightly failed. Even game shows are representative of the nature of the Chinese government, neglect those who are imperfect, idolize those who are academically gifted
In the west, we get to fail upwards, provided we meet alternative criteria that's not based on merit.
Its not math, its claculating
yeah everyone come here from japanese take their calculators very seriously :Dd
no i came from someone who memorized 1,100 numbers in 30 minutes...
Being a human calculator used to be *a solid job 200 years ago :-)*
Good to see that China is focusing on solid math skills that will help kids to deal with numbers later in life.
Still better than learning to photograph Starbuck cups
But it ain't that useful wtf we have calculators
@@studiosvatsal4325 I mean, isn’t it cool to have the ability to say “I calculated 100-3 digit numbers in a few seconds and the only tool was my own mind”
@@gamesrfun4049 this gets u in harward??
@@studiosvatsal4325 idk maybe
this is taking mental math to a whole new level
Please let the kids enjoy their childhood.
Teacher:there will be not so much homework
The homework: 0:40
Everyone: who came here after “Japanese taking their calculator’s very serious’?
Me, who hasn’t seen the video at all: ooh me special lol
Yeah I m going to check out this shit coz everybody commenting this only ...no 1 question how the fuck did they calculated man amazing...I mean 2 person got their answer right
lol same it was in my recommended
The dramatic expressions of the host and judges 👏
I hope CGTN sees how popular this video has become and how incredible the comments are from around the world. THIS is what we should be showcasing. God bless China!
The reason it a bot saying it cause human cant even speak that fast
I don’t know why this is in my recommendation.. but damn that impressive
I play arcaea too!!! Never thought I would see an arcaea player here :0
@@tracklost2221 yeaaaaahh
Japan: *High-speed calculator clicking*
China: *"LOL my kuddos don't need calculators to calculate as fast as you"*
Japan: 👁👄👁
And this is why the entire world should still adopt the use of the abacus. Incredible.
They are doing two things I never managed to learn, mandarin and mathematics
child: misses last three digits
parents: you don't deserve life
Parent - “ Just 100?? I used to do 1000 per second for my exams “
I am late to this video, but the fact that only two of the students got the answer correct shows how difficult this challenge was.
Imagine watching this show with the whole family and they start comparing you to them
I have learned all the levels of abacus and can tell they went through intensive training. In my personal opinion, anyone who still uses finger movements could get answer wrong, I keep my eyes open and focus on a spot and I am almost always right. Finger movements are muscle memory but it cannot move faster than your brain or imaginary beads. I see a biggggg abacus when I am calculating, but if I used my finger movements it would slow me down, again everybody is different.
I can do 3 digits 20 rows with the same speed but never went further. I would love to try this calculation maybe at slower speed. I was also a teacher in Canada and kids here would not believe me. So I would show them my own demo and show videos like this. I have tried 4 digits 15 rows in my classroom, got correct answer but the speed was slow. Since I am older, I am not as good as I used to be but I can definitely learn. Amazing video.
lol i had to check to see whether the speed of the video was on x2 when they started saying the numbers
To be close is incredible and to actually get it right was just something to witness.
I was close to a mental breakdown one minute into the video, I couldn't breath well and the world started to spin. It seems my aversion to math hasn't gotten any better over the years.
Well, i couldn't breath too, i need to pause this video many times tho 😂
I skipped the calculation part, 😅 my self-esteem thinks tends to believe I'm smarter than average and cannot handle this
Have you tried non-binary?
And there’s me not knowing how to count 1+1

No way they are actually solving this they will need perfect memory and perfect reaction spped and iq of at least 190 to solve this
It's just too good
@@No-xx8rj IQ has nothing to do with mental calculation. IQ assists with problem-solving and thinking of ideas. What they're doing is just putting their extreme speed-calculating practice to the test. This is actually not the most impressive if you look at what other challenges are presented on the show. This is 100% real
Teacher: “Why didn’t you show your work? No work = no credit.”
Student: “But teacher, I finished the problem faster than the calculator, you know I didn’t cheat!”
Teacher: “How am I supposed to know your thought process?”
