I’m guessing by the deleted comments, they were as gross as the one on the Daily Record.

Good on him and his family. I hope his schooling has played a part in it. I’m sure it will inspire other kids to do the same!

Shame that this was posted 15 mins ago and not 1 comment of praise.
Anyway Well Done to the young lad, an inspiration at his young age.

Well done to the young lad. Seems to be quiet an achievement.

Of course he did, because his strict parents have kept him locked away in a room studying nonstop

Well done to him. That’s a huge achievement.
Maths is key to so many technical and science careers. Its not valued highly enough in schools I think so this sort of publicity is very helpful in getting the value of this recognised.

Well done son!!! My friend’s kid was good at maths and ended up as a quant in finance. Snapped up at 14 through one of those talent pipelines and had an internship at university. Hope this lad finds a fulfilling and rewarding career.

Does Scots schoolboy mean exactly the same things as Scottish schoolboy? I’ve only commonly heard it used to refer to the language

*British. You ain’t Scottish unless you have Scottish parents. Scots is an ethnic group

The IMO is really tough, this is amazing!
I couldn’t even pass the qualifying rounds of the Maths Challenge as a kid, despite being good at maths.

Fair dues to the kid, but I think there’s something quite misleading about this article. The event is called the “British Youth International Colleges (BYITC) International Maths Olympiad Challenge”. It’s clearly named to be reminiscent of the [International Mathematical Olympiad](https://www.imo-official.org/), which is a worldwide high-school-level maths competition with *very* tough questions. But this is a competition run by a private tutoring company, and the level is [significantly easier](https://www.byitc.org/childrens-abacus-maths-classes/), basically involving doing basic arithmetic quickly. This article is essentially an advertisement for a tutoring company.
