He is only eight years old and solves complex mathematical problems in a matter of seconds.
Tasos Gerantides, a third-grade student from Pella, Northern Greece, is an “extremely intelligent” pupil, with a general IQ of 140.
He has managed to impress experts with his skills in the three areas of flowing reasoning, visual perception, and processing speed.
Andreas Gerantides is Tasos’s father. Andreas spoke with the Athens and Macedonian News Agency and said: “Tasos has been very involved in mathematics from kindergarten and during his years in elementary school.”
Tasos comes from a family of farmers and his intelligence has amazed everyone.
”He has special features such as not sleeping too much… His brain can’t rest as we were told. We are still close to him and we will do our best to assist him to evolve in the best way,” the proud father noted.
When Tasos undertook a mathematics IQ test, he scored 148.5, 150 is the highest score possible for a human being.
And he hasn’t even been taught proper mathematics!
According to the results of the Intelligence Scale for Children test that Tasos took, he belongs to the top one percent of the world population, he ranks among the most intelligent children in the world.
Tasos’ family decided to send him to Germany. There he will attend a special class with three other children and get the advanced education his brain requires.
The Deputy Governor offered a laptop and a book about Pella to young Tasos, as a tiny gesture of respect for his outstanding abilities.
