A 16-year-old has managed to crack puzzles which have baffled the world of maths for more than 350 years.

Shouryya Ray has been hailed a genius after working out the problems set by Sir Isaac Newton.

The schoolboy, from Dresden, Germany, solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers.
His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.

Shouryya only came across the problems during a school trip to Dresden University where professors claimed they were uncrackable.

'I just asked myself, 'Why not?',' explained Shouryya.

'I think it was just schoolboy naivety. I didn't believe there couldn't be a solution,' he added.
Modest Shouryya began solving complicated equations as a six year old but says he's no genius.

'There are other things at school I wish I was better at - football for one,' he said.

For years Shouryya has enjoyed what he calls 'intrinsic beauty' of maths.

When he was young, his father, an engineer, began testing his brain by setting him arithmetic problems.

After arriving from Calcutta four years ago without knowing any German, Shouryya is now fluent in the language.

His intelligence was quickly noted in class and he was pushed up two years in school - he is currently sitting his exams early.

Modestly Shouryya has pointed out he has weak points as a mathematician, and says he is not as competent in sport.

Very important factor.

Nice one, wish I was 16 to do

This news don expire.

emekauzor: Nice one, wish I was 16 too.

Could u do any better now you're 36?

Whr is d puzzle? let me giv it a try...

Great one and achievement.....................

350 years? Hmmh! This is no doubt a good one.
But on the other hand, can we at least have the almighty equation that has bemused scientists for 350 years.

Which kind puzzle be that wey don dey for 350 years and na now we dey hear am?

Btw make them show us the puzzle

Yorisb:

Could u do any better now you're 36?

LOlll
You harsh ooo!!

Gaddemn... Dis guy doesn't look 16

daywatcher: What is his bank balance?

Ask google...lol

[size=13pt]16 or 61??

Mstcheeew!! See the bia bia sef[/size]

Mshewww...something that i successfully solved three years ago.

afam4eva: Mshewww...something that i successfully solved three years ago.

[size=13pt]Idiot!! this one resemble Quantitative Reasoning?? [/size]

afam4eva: Mshewww...something that i successfully solved three years ago.

what is the question ?

16 or 61 ?

@ coolcocoa tel them mak them show us d puzzle! D boy don meet paw paw @ coolcocoa tel them mak them show us d puzzle! D boy don meet paw paw

why dem feel say na d boy/man solution be d answer? if u no knw d answer, hw u wan take score person?

life_style: I want to learn mathematics

Bros, Try learn something else.

350 years puzzle ko 1 million years puzzle ni. Clowns

dani1luv:
[size=13pt]Idiot!! this one resemble Quantitative Reasoning?? [/size]

quantitative reasoning is when unavailable becomes available.
hw abt dat?

The equation can be find here http://datelinenews.org/shourryya-ray-solution-to-350-year-old-isaac-newton-puzzle-on-search-by-physicists/99554 but that guy doesn't look like 16, abi wetin him dey eat.

o boy u harsh o

Strife to be excellent and success will follow you pants down.
