Arran Fernandez is the
youngest person ever to pass a
GCSE exam in
Great Britain, achieving a D grade in
Maths at the ripe old age of
5 years, 11 months.
Arran has never actually been to
school, but received all his
tutelage at home from his parents who are both very well
educated, however his father lacks faith in the
British educational system, and criticises parents for not pushing their
kids hard enough.
Arran's speciality is integer sequences, and apparently he has discovered some that research mathematicians had never even touched upon before.
He was rewarded for his triumph, not with a trip to Alton Towers, but with an Archemedian Solid mounted on a brass plaque. Arran's father, on the other hand, won £1000 in a bet with friends. His parents insist he is "just a normal little boy".
Wait till the hormones kick in...
