@Epicasaurus

Actually brprince is right. You wouldn't be able to to use 0 to narrow down the last digit of pi as 0 can't be used as such. That leaves you with only 1-9.

@ "Standards" (presumably short for "poor standards")

the nine numbers i can narrow it down to are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

if you need to ask why, dont try and take maths at uni, it wont end well for you.

And yes, some people say maths. Try travelling, or you know, picking up a book sometime. Might learn a thing or two.

When did Yahoo end up in England?

And it seriously just doesn't sound like it would flow well to say "maths..."

It just doesn't feel as fluid... Whatever, they can have their tongue, I'll have mine. Not like I'll ever intentionally speak with a Brit about math anyway...

" "maths" problem?
Really?

This kid just proved himself a damn genius and you can't even use proper grammar in your article about him?

Wow..."

it's called 'colloquialism'
england says 'maths'

yes "maths"

In case you haven't noticed yet, English does vary between US and England.

Lets hope its research that uplifts humanity, and not bomb it into everness.

Looked it up. Be happy with the "math problem" descriptor. Migraine generator.
