agreeI am quite sure lim jeck is not smart, he is very very smart. Today's smops is harder than a decade ago and it is not easy for someone to achieve lim jeck's performance without outside training. Besides from lim jeck's achievements it's fair to say he is a genius in mathematics.
Although you scenario might be reasonably true if the parental guidance is excellent or the child has access to many solution booklets to learn.

Donno leh? :? Yah, nvm lah...But..., whoever who happened to have also watched the show, pleeaassee, help me solve the mystery!
perhaps his dad put on weight ( photo was taken after TV interview)?sunflower:
As for Lim Jeck, the boy in the show does resemble him. However, Lim Jeck's dad looks slightly more plump in the photo in his blog. The dad being interviewed on TV was slightly leaner and wore specs, so probably not Lim Jeck's dad then.
So sorry for the wrong info. :oops: Oh dear, then who's that I saw on TV? I'm really intrigued! :?
or lost weight if the interview took place after the photo-taking?
nvm lah....

Yes. To fully understand the solutions by yourself in those workbooks and apply them is not an easy task. Lim Jeck is probably gifted in Maths.I am quite sure lim jeck is not smart, he is very very smart.

:idea: If you are dying to know the answer, you can just go to Lim Jeck's blog and ask him directly. -

Hmm... :idea: Not a bad idea. Can consider...

I looked through the results for smops 2008 and noticed that lim jeck was 3rd in Smops but did not win anything for apmops. Anyone know if he did not take the test?

was the namelist in order of merit or in alphabetical order ? thanks -
should be in order of merit, i guess. otherwise, letter of J Or L could not rank 3rd by alphabetic order. :?

according to his blog, in 2010, he clinched a bronze of Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad (APMO)
though bronze, but he is Sec 1 only. (APMO is for all Sec students, right? :? ) -

the namelist is the ranking of individual winners for smops so is by merit.CoffeeCat:
