- Beijinger 11mo agoWhy the Downvote? It is true.
- SanjayMehta 11mo agoIt's due to your username; they think you're a troll.
- Beijinger 11mo agoWell. I love Beijing. But I am not Chinese, nor do I currently live in China. Unfortunately.

- Beijinger 11mo agoWell, if someone feels extremely inferior, true. Many mothers claim their child is gifted. In this case, I believe it. It is not my son, unfortunately. I am just in a roommate situation. I give him math challenges sometimes. Today I started introducing equations with 2 unknowns.
- SanjayMehta 11mo agoMy father taught me simple algebra when I was around 8 using puzzles.
- fragmede 11mo agowhat does it add to the conversation? The fact that incoming UCSD freshman cannot solve the problem is being brought up as a failure. That this six year old can solve it does nothing to address the issue of UCSD students being unable to solve a problem that we all expect them to. It it as if you are a stoichastic parrot, bringing up a fact that, yes, it happens to be true, because it is nearby on some vector space. Hence the downvotes.
- Beijinger 11mo agoWhat do you do add to the discussion?
- jrflowers 11mo agoI can’t do a standing backflip. This is a true statement and contributes the same amount to a discussion about higher education in the US as “I know a kid that can do algebra”
