This kid has the kind of genius you can't teach in school

This kid has the kind of genius you can't teach in school

Hundreds of thousands of children across the country are taking exams this week.

The child has since been hailed a genius by users of the site for simulteneously managing to provide answers that are definitely correct, while apparently not having a full grasp of the subject.

As one user so aptly put it:

Very clever. I would have never thought to do this and I'm 33. F--k me.
