THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD MATH GENIUS RECEIVES 30 MILLION DOLLARS AND LIFETIME SCHOLARSHIP FROM APPLE

Did you know that with a simple mathematical theory, you could associate your phone number with your age? We didn’t either until we met 13-year-old Jemal Abraha.

The Eritrean sixth-grader created such a theory and has been hailed a mathematical genius, being nicknamed after the ancient Greek Mathematician Archimedes of Syracus.

Abraha’s formula cold take less than a minute to solve. So impressed by Abraha’s skills, technology giant Apple has offered him a lifetime scholarship and signing fee of 30 million dollars to come and work for them upon graduation. See if you can figure out Abraha’s formula below.

  • Take the last digit of your phone number.
  • Multiply it by 2
  • Add 5 to it
  • Multiply the answer by 50
  • Add 1766
  • Subtract the year of your birth (19**)
  • You will get a 3 digit answer but the last two digits are your age! How did he do it?!
