About the series:
Four children with four exceptional gifts - a computer genius, a violin virtuoso, a star gymnast and a dazzling chess player. What is it like to be one in 100,000 or even one in a million?
From friendships gained and families uprooted, it’s a fragile balance between pursuing their potential and not losing their childhood innocence. What hidden sacrifices do these wonder kids and the people around them make to fulfil their grand ambitions ? We go behind the glamour of awards and achievements and find out what it truly means to be a child prodigy.
Arushi : *Wins 2nd place*
*Gets interviewed*
1st place winner : Am I a joke to you?
Lol😅
Omg now I feel bad for who came 1st
@정국 so long of a comment lol 😂
@정국 once me and my really fast friend were doing this running game and I bet her and she stormed off then all my friends were comforting her.

Not only she is good at understanding Maths, she is passionate about learning the topic and I think that is why she succeeded. You go girl! :)
NO SHE IS GIFTED AND SMART NOT LIKE ME
Shut up feminist

kind of annoying because they always focus on the tiny mistake you made and not praise you for the big acheivements you've made ;0
Annie Nguyen I know that feeling too
Same like sometimes everyone thinks I’m gonna get a hundred but I get 1 question wrong with a careless mistake and they’re like “oh you didn’t get a hundred (my name)
exaccttlyy!! people point out the super duper tiny mistake you do, but youve done WAYYY more things that you actually success in it, people dont think its impressive..

😂😂😂
Good one
It is literally true if it is a object 😂
Technically if it is "1" + "1", then it is taken as a string, not a number. So in that case, it becomes 11 even though there is the add function. This is called concatenation of strings. You can check it out. It's a feature in programming.

I like that the mom decided to let her child have a normal childhood. I skipped a grade and i know it's for the future but sometimes i wish I never skipped a grade because i lost a lot.

Akila Kavisinghe I was passionate about math till I was 11, because my dad was trying to teach me log, cosine,calculus and stuff like that that changed my life
Honestly same. I liked calc1 but right now in calc2 it's just torture, especially with my professor.
@@alexso820 Log, cosine, sine is extremely basic. Calculus is a very extended subject, as someone who has a major in applied mathematics, one of the most difficult transitions I had was going from pre-calculus to derivates, analyzing functions, parametric equations, limits and continuity, and matrix transformations. As a family full of mathematicians, at the age of 12 or so they forced me into learning trigonometry, matrices (took a long way to understand the inverse of matrices), and complex probability.
I remember in school when they were barely teaching about polynomials, logarithms, quadratic equations and shit like that, I had the easiest time of my life... except for when they asked me to make my classmates understand...
Y'all just wait till u learn fourier series, laplace transforms and complex exponentials. Makes me wonder why I took up engineering lol
Ppl say that math is a good exercise for your brain but math hurts my brain 😂

I see comments of people failing maths , honestly just pay attention in class and ask your teacher of your questions on that topic you dont understand and you got yourself an A .
Elaxium WARFRAME it's not than easy as your think even dining that notching will change
Anila Jose , yeh cuz we develop the habit of being distracted .
Elaxium WARFRAME well I pay attention to the teacher but I like get 45 out of 60 you just have to study
Anila Jose , honestly things like maths , you dont need to think , just follow the formula of a topic and just apply the newer statistics of a question into that formula for that topic . Thats why we have algebra . Btw 45 /60 is fucking good alrite m8. Dont pressure yourself
That's like telling someone who's depressed to cheer up
Me: mom my grade are bit lower than the last one
Mom: then?
Me: you might be disappointed?
Mom: why would I be? Am I the one that studied? Did I stressed myself getting your grades? If you think your best is not enough for you well it's enough for me that you're pushing yourself to achieve something for me. But don't push harder than your self.
My mom started doing that to me as well. I love my mom so much more when she understands that we try our hardest

'I see math everywhere' oh gosh my worst nightmare
I thought I was good in math until I watched this...
Take this from a student from Singapore.
In Singapore, the expectations of teachers and students are much higher than other countries, I am not exaggerating. The math Olympiad is common for people in my class to take part of and win or at least get a high position in it. It is quite common to see things like this. But Arushi is quite gifted I must say.
Aren't you too old for studying in school 😆✌️
Aarushi : Did I practice enough?
Me at a test: I studied at 3 PM and got done by 3PM, that seems enough for me.
“I see math everywhere”
That sounds like a nightmare to me
I really like her mom. She seems so sweet and calm.
I wonder how much she would get in psle
I don’t think she needs to take the psle, her school uniform states that she is from UWC, an international school in Singapore.
Ah the double edged sword that is international school
I think maybe moe to teach more to her and just told her to go international school maybe . But she's really smart
300/300
what's psle

Thank you! Now I feel ashamed of myself👌
I’m good at math but I love how she is ready to pounce on any opportunity to solve an equation... she is unafraid to try. I enjoy mental math and logic but I prefer science over math. Let’s all take a lesson from her and try at anything, whether it be math or not, without the fear of making mistakes. Easier said than done, but will become doable with practice.

The konigsberg Bridge problem is one of the first problems introduced to a student in Graph Theory, the study of Graphs. A graph is a mathematical object that describes a relationship between objects (its basically just dots connected to other dots).
Euler was presented this problem by the townspeople of konigsburg; they simply couldn't find a way to structure a parade that crosses every bridge exactly once. Euler proved that it can not be done: this is known as an Eularian circuit; this is only possible when every node as an even degree. If you have a land mass with an odd number of bridges, it is impossible to do.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that she thinks of her brother as her teacher and not her competitor is amazing 🙊
