Commentator: Mog has set his sights on the Child Genius title to make a point about parenting.
Mog: I want to take part because I want to prove that you don't need to have pushy parents or be pushed to win a competition.
Mother: It is important to Morgan as a person to do this, which therefore makes it important to us.
Mog: I want to shuttle forward, get a hundred per cent and be able to retain my glory.
Examiner: Hey, Mog. Are you happy with the rules?
Mog: Er ... yep.
Examiner: OK, your time will start as soon as I start my first question. OK, are you ready to play?
Mog: When I read my school report, maths was absolutely fantastic. It was above all else, so I would just say that mathematics is generally my strongest point.
Examiner: What comes next? One, three, five, fifteen, seventeen.

That’s just amazing) I can’t believe my eyes... To be honest, I can’t stand learning Maths, so for me Mog is a real discovery. I reckon that he will be the next Elon Mask. I am really glad that nowadays we still have such people who want to build the future due to their knowledges... I really hope that one day Mog will reach a great success... I am pretty sure that he will make a breakthrough someday)))
Do you enjoy studying maths?
Although I like studying , I don't like math !
Do you think Mog is a genius?
Yes he is so intelligent .
yes i enjoy studying Maths so much , i think that Mog will become a Maths scientist in the future pretty sure his mind is full of Math and he is doing great in it.
I enjoy studying the math a lot since it requires fresh mind with a high concentration. I see this subject is the feed for our minds to keep them in touch with the human nature more the whole dependence on the technology in term of numbers calculations and further making the mathematical calculations. It is so nice to see Mog use his mind for the calculation instead of calculator which I don't preferred very often to keep my memory effective and useful as much as I can.
i ENJOY studying mahth. Mog is very inteligent and genius
