This shit had me rollin!

I love how these students can do some ridiculously quick calculations, but are utterly confused with Wheaton's jokes.
Perhaps they’re simply unimpressed
@@mubasora7221 but jokes make life a bit funner- it puts a smile on your face, but ig if you wanna be a super computer- whatever floats you're boat
It's entirely expected, Luke is displaying clear signs of autism, you'll also find that when someone's brain is so specifically dedicated to a function like maths they become inept in other aspects of life such as social interaction, humour, creativity, stress management etc while it's cool what they can do people need to remember that like everything in life, there's always a compromise.
@@Ella-gb7no The students are under an immense amount of stress; it's not their fault if it's hard for them to laugh/smile when this much pressure is put on you. It doesn't mean that any of the students aren't really funny and chill people.
@@anne. well obviously. EVERYONE has a time in their life when they´re under an immense amount of stress, its not just them. They aren't the only people with stress. I´d rather be stressed about a math competition than stressed about how I´m gonna afford rent when I´m a single parent with four kids living in a tiny apartment or stressed about having to get my leg amputated. A math competition isn´t all people have to stress about. I meant people who spend every second of their entire life not joking around for a second, not in a few hours.
you know it’s hard when he’s able to finish saying the question
ikr haha
i think they have Options, and when the kids just have no idea of what the answer is, they guess between the options.
There is NO way kids can be this smart. not biologically posible.
@@lagillas They get to see the question with like 5 seconds before the the guy starts to read it, and they also know so many formulas so they are able to do it very fast
@@lagillas Surprisingly it is. They are incredibly smart, but they also start to solve it a few seconds before the commentator starts to read the question. Although, those problems are not that hard, the main difficulty is actually solve as fast as they can.
@@lagillas It is man. Kids like this are just literally mental computers. People are able to do multiplication and division in their head. Give those people the formula to solve problems and boom blam blamo you got these 200IQ Monsters

this reminds me of the 19 years old that doesnt know how to read vines lol no offence just reminder
they have the question on the monitors in front of them so they're looking at it while he's reading it and before it gets edited into the video
I am not surprised bcoz this is common In America even in Gk
I did not find the questions hard at all the hard thing is to answer before ur competitor.

Of course they are, they studied and trained. Means they care.
Be happy fo them! These kids don't get a lot of opportunities to compete with other people as fast as them and experiencing an honest loss is such an important lesson
its a competition ofc youll be upset if youre wrong

@@jackwaibel8812 so u don't study or do ur homework but still do well in your tests?. Bruh, that's quite some memory
That was me in grade school. Some teachers were fine with it, others weren't. In high school, I got locked into algebra 2 for two years because of a teacher they paired me with repeatedly. Homework counted as 10% of the grade, extra credit was 10% of the grade (witch is bs when it should have been extra), in-class assignments were 20% and tests were 60%. The homework was easy and to show work I would just look up the problem and copy it down, the answers I got on my own, and most of the in-class stuff was easy, but the tests... so the way they worked were you had 10-20 problems, never more, never less, and you had to solve them 1, then 2, then 3, etc, and if you missed or showed incorrect work on, let's say problem 5, then questions 6-20 were not available to you and would be counted as wrong even if you got the right answer and showed work. Because of this teach I gave up on math for my senior year. I took some khan classes during my free time as a TA to remember everything and prep for college. In college, I got top of my class first year and tutored many fellow students. To this day I hate that man for holding me and many other students back because he had a unique testing system.
Instead of doing my math homework, I watch a math competition.
Hi, I am interested in getting clarification in this video between 17 and 18 min for the question, correct answer
by the contestant was declared wrong and a wrong answer announced. Correct answer is
2100 sq ft announced wrong and gave 1500 sq ft as correct answer. Please clear this
@@vasanthadevimanohararajah5160 Hey, sorry I'm late but I'll clarify this for you. Ok, so the question says the following; 'Jim, Jeannie and their 5 children live in a 700-ft^2 apartment. They want to move house for which the ratio of square feet to children is triple the apartment's ratio of square feet to total people. How many square feet could their house be?'
So, the thing most people would do is spot 700-ft^2 and triple and do (700-ft^2)x3 which would give you 2100-ft^2 (which is what the first boy who answered the question most likely would have done), but that is unfortunately wrong as there is no logic behind this. This is how you would logically figure the question out:
Let's focus on the first part as it says 'ratio of square feet to children'. We can formulate an expression, so we could say that the square feet of the new house they're looking for (the answer) is x and that the amount of children is 5 so when put together it becomes x:5 Now, moving on it says, the value of x:5 is three times that of the 'apartment's ratio of square feet to total people'. Originally, it would be 700-ft^2:7 , 7 being the total number of people in the household (Jim, Jeannie and the 5 kids), but because it says the value of x:5 is triple 'apartment's ratio of square feet to total people' meaning we do (700-ft^2x3):7 which is 2100-ft^2:7.
Now lets go back to the question. It says 'ratio of square feet to children is triple the apartment's ratio of square feet to total people'. It mentions the word 'is', meaning the values are equal. So, x:5=1200-ft^2:7 The common multiple of 7 and 5 is 35 so 7(x:5)=5(2100-ft^2:7) which when fully simplified gives us 7x:35=10500:35 This means 7x=10,500. Divide 7 on both sides and you get x=1500. By the way, although this is not an efficient method it still outlines the concept so hope you understand this.
Literally that is exactly what I am doing

Honestly think he might be concerned about making his competitors sad.

i honestly think luke has social anxiety and was really pressured even after he answered the questions. he looked so stressed.
that's what homeschool does to you
@@reinoutvanrespaille6217 homeschooling really do me like that
@Alice Ling26 the chance of you being socially awkward is probably much higher if you get homeschooled, as you do not learn to socielly interact with peers or really with any peole apart from your family (ofcourse you can still have friends etc. But the amount of social interaction will be way less then in school usually).
Not knowing or being bad at social interaction if you hadn't had much is going to be probable.
Ofcourse it doesn't mean that is the only way why one could be socially anxious, you can also be extremely self aware and lack confidence etc. Which can all be part of your personality even if you go to school.
looks like everyone is a psychiatric down here.
Probably pressure from parents. A lot of kids like this that I know have nearly abusive parents who lash out when their kid doesn't do well no matter what the scale of the error is

frr, saw one of their hands shaking like crazy
I never reached this level but I was always very nervous in this type of event as opposed to the written tests just because this felt like a live performance. So some of the anxiety shown is more stage fright than their parent or teachers pushing them too hard.

Philosophy: Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Luke: Hold my glasses..
Oh great, back to feeling dumb...
I feel you bro
Don't feel so bad. All these kids are doing is using heuristics, which are tools, or rules of thumb, used to shorten a problem solving process, where you can solve a problem just by looking at it. Just like we humans use heuristics to decide if a situation is safe or unsafe - all within a matter of seconds. I'm not devaluing anything these kids are doing. They are obviously extremely smart, hard working, and overall good problem solvers. But if you practiced ANYTHING like these kids do, you would be just as good at them. Plus, most of the math they are doing isn't super useful. Have a great day.
@Ash Ash The fact that this math can be done with a calculator isn't what makes it useless lol.

@@megancompuesto2209 yeah i was thinking the same thing too
PhD in mathematics, I teach various different graduate level calculus courses (and more), and these kids still answered the questions faster than me (and got them right).... I suddenly feel like I wasted 29 years of my life twiddling my thumbs
EDIT: I meant this as a joke - but naturally people thought I was being serious.
EDIT: It's still just a joke. Calm down.
Hahahah I feel so sorry for u
@@signingera honestly these types of competitions mostly have bad effects on the emotional health of young children. I'm not saying they're all bad but competitions are just- I don't see the point of them. Shouldn't there be some kind of collective thing to maybe try to invent new stuff or work on existing high level technology in the field they really like? That'd be much better for young kids minds.
Hi, I am interested in getting clarification in this video between 17 and 18 min for the question, correct answer
by the contestant was declared wrong and a wrong answer announced. Please clear this. Thank you.
@@vasanthadevimanohararajah5160 Hi. 1500 is correct. The ratio for the apartment is 700 divided by 7 people (father, mother and five children), it is 100. They want a house three times that number (3 x 100 = 300) per child, it is they want a house having 300 x 5 = 1500 sq feet.
lol loser luke go HEEEUUUGHHHH
this moderator is such an amazing person, i like the way he entertain the contestants and audiens
But he kinda annoys when you try to solve the questions as fast as possible... Like stop talking man!
Me reading the comments before the competition starts: who even cares about Luke lol, what’s the problem
Me after seeing Luke: *oh yes I see*
true xd
It looks like Luke can kill anyone in a second by just saying a number out loud.
i went to middle school with daniel yuan, we all considered him a legend
i attend the middle school that daniel yuan went to and we still consider them a legend
I smell lies
@@iieop482 name checks out
you mean Sheen from Jimmy Neutron?
i just watched a MIT Integration contest and is the Luke Robitaille here the same as the one from that MIT video!? 😮🤩
yes he won like 4 imo gold medals. Everyone treats luke as the holy grail in the mathematics community
19:04 jaedon reaction is all of us on every single problem
🤣🤣💀💀
Ye lol
And he gets it too
48:20 when your argueing with your mom and she says something funny but you need to keep character
😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂 he doesnt wanna show him self happy about that and he doenst now the result after to not be embarassing ..i do that in my life i dont anticipate hapiness before i see my golden price in my hand
@@user-vv5ju3fj1p Is it your explanation or L's explanation?
Hahahah
hahahahahhahahahahah
i literally have no reason to be watching this
i know right, i expected to answer some of the question being in med school considering myself above all school kids, i gave up on first ques
random question but whats the name of the meme in ur pfp
Shaurya Garg bro, they are just calculators. That doesn’t mean they are smart, you can do that by practicing, is easier than understanding maths. Maths are more complicated than that,
@@jadon7878 i have no clue
They solve them before I can even finish reading them. Are the questions always pretty similar with just slightly different numbers so it's mostly memorization?
i think they mostly skim the problem and read whats actually important and then solve it
31:20
Luke: 996
Host: 996cm is correct!
Luke: *grunts*
It was a cough
@@michelletrung169 more like him clearing his throat, but yeah, still funny if you imagine that he just randomly grunts
@@fuel_qq caveman time
To all the kids suffering math but still brave enough to watch this, practice makes perfect. You don't have to do new problem right after you solved one. Take your time. Do one problem over and over till you remember it. Maybe you'll understand it as well (after you do it for times). And if you boring, changes the number, or find similar. Then when you comfortable doing that problem, move on. What I suggest might takes time and patient but it worked on me and I just want to help so... Good luck ❤
Yes, good advice.
HOW TF DO THEY READ THE QUESTIONS SO FAST... I'm still trying to figure out what the question is asking and then they're like 2893239.... CORRECT!!
They might just be wizards or maybe their projector is actually faster than the UA-cam editing
@@greywaren6034 Nahhh I've participated in actual Mathcounts competitions and that's how fast they actually are T-T
HAHAAAHAHAHAHAHHAH RELATE
They probably memorized every single competition question to have ever existed. Mind-boggling...
Practice
Announcer on point with the jokes, we need more of these folks
Bro that’s Will Wheaton 😂
Hi
56:10 pretty sure we just watched a time traveler enter this boys mind & replace his wrong answer with the right answer. That critical moment, which none of us will ever understand the magnitude of, shaped the course of the entire world. Thank you time traveler.... for cheating.
LOL
*”thank you time traveler...for cheating.”* LOOOOL
Wtf
İ am laughing at this comment for 2 weeks
The excuses the jock of the class comes up with when I beat him in arm wrestling
11:45 I had a stroke trying to even understand the question
You must have not been practicing 40 hours
Hypotenuse sounds like a huge extinct platypus.
Like wtf is that?!
@@ryann9026 You’ll learn that word in like 8th or 9th grade.
Took me a solid 2 min just to understand the question lol
