He was already miles ahead of anyone else simply by believing it wasn't impossible and dismissing his youth and inexperience as limitations. Wish I'd had that kind of confidence at that age.

That's nothing. I made a LEGO B-wing t'other week that said it would take 7-12 years, and it only took me 2 days!

I wonder if Mr. Ray's research will be applied to ballistics. Sod Newton, we may finally have have Ray Guns!

I did. Just everyone else told me limitations made things impossible, and I was stupid and trusted them...

For years, Ray has enjoyed what he says is an "intrinsic beauty" of maths. He moved from Calcutta, India, to Dresden, Germany, four years ago without knowledge of the German language, in which he is now fluent. He is preparing to take his secondary school exams two years ahead of his peers.

Four years ago, he moved to Germany, is fluent in German and is sitting exams (presumably in German) two years ahead of everyone else...
Jeeze...

Kid is clearly a genius though...
