A Chinese genius flexed his mathematical prowess by solving a problem that flummoxed a team of mathematicians with Ph.D.s for four months in a single night.
Wei Dongyi, a 30-year-old assistant mathematics professor at Peking University in Beijing, came to the rescue after six mathematicians called him for help as they tried building a complex mathematics model. After using the equations he provided to alter their experiment, the team’s model obtained a passing rate of over 96%.
The mathematicians wanted to pay the professor to show their gratitude, but he declined.
"It’s unnecessary to pay me for such an easy problem," he said.
Wei, who became known as “God Wei,” eventually asked for a recharge of his transport card as a form of compensation.
“It is not rare or surprising to us that Wei can solve the puzzle that other people cannot because he is smart and is hyper-focused on math problems,” Chen Dayue, the dean of Peking University’s School of Mathematical Sciences, told Chinese news platform Jiupai News.
Wei was reportedly accepted to Peking University without taking the gaokao, China’s national college entrance exam, due to his math skills and past achievements, including his two consecutive victories at the International Mathematical Olympiad while he was still a high school student.
He also turned down an offer from Harvard, which went so far as to offer an English language waiver and an interpreter so that he could study there as a Ph.D. candidate, his former teacher Zhang Yonghua told Shandong Business News.

That’s because the group of mathematicians has to figure out the pronouns first.
Dims dream of the day when they can control our movement like that and we be grateful when they allow us to move about freely for a day.
Confirmed: PhD means squat.
I got a 1150 on my gaokao.
“He also turned down an offer from Harvard...”
I like him already.
[[”It’s unnecessary to pay me for such an easy problem,” he said. ]]
Lol no modesty In His family, he got it all apparently. The mathematicians who were stumped for 4 months got the Mike dropped by him lol
Math ability is like musical or artistic ability...you are either born with it or not. This guy was apparently born gifted.
The group of mathematicians couldn’t do it because they only knew common core. Plus they were girls.
Surprised the idiot wokesters haven’t cancelled him cause math is racist.
1150. Winner of the day already!
He probably used a calculator 🤪
He really is smart!..................
Math ability is about working all the problems
This guy has exceptional talents. But he’s also had training
Some people just think differently from others.
“No Wei!”
“Wei!”
He no match against oobama.
Plus oobama has a Nobel.
