A British five year old has passed the MCP exam, proving he's both a Minesweeper Consultant as well as a Solitaire Expert. His family pretty much agree that it's just a matter of memorising the multiple choice answers: The hardest challenge was explaining the language of the test to a five-year-old. But he seemed to pick it up and has a very good memory.

When you are looking for an employee, do you look at pieces of paper that a five year old can get from memorising a few answers, or do you trust references and resumes?

    Maybe that's true for Americans, but elsewhere algebra starts from 5th grade on.

    Well not to be outdone, in the US algebra actually starts as early as kindergarten depending on the definition of algebra. Kindergarten worksheets have " 5 - _ = 3 " if you count that as algebra.
