A Brilliant Young Mind Page #6
one of you will have to go to Cambridge.
So, by the smallest
fraction of a point,
the last place on
the team goes to...
Nathan.
The six of you will be hosting the
Chinese team at your own homes
and I'll see you all in
Cambridge next week.
Onward, Christian soldiers.
A real Taiwanese last supper!
"As the old proverb say,
Slowly, slowly, catchy prawn."
Now, you put your bait on the hooks
and you put your hooks in the water.
Don't worry, Nathan. I only
just made the team myself.
We should be celebrating!
Okay.
He's so strange.
At least we don't have
to see him again.
What a dick.
What do I do?
Yes!
I'm sorry.
- How's it going?
- Good.
- These two are tender?
- Not yet.
Not yet. I have this all under control,
thank you very much. It's fine.
Okay, okay. You're the expert.
Can I get a plate?
Smells good.
Have you seen this? Now that's
what I call a dead prawn.
This prawn is
definitely deceased.
When I bought it half-hour
ago, you assured me
that its lack of movement was due
to it being tired and shagged out.
My God.
"Say, No, no, it's resting."
- What?
- Say, "No, no, it's resting."
No, no, it's resting.
All right, then. Well, if it's
resting, I'll wake it up.
Hello, Prawny.
Prawny, wake up!
This prawn wouldn't wake up
if I put 4,000 volts through it.
It's bleedin' demised.
It has ceased to be.
It's expired and gone
to meet its maker.
This is an ex-prawn!
Seriously, Luke, what are you?
Well, what are you, Isaac?
I find everything so easy
and I have everything.
"And I'm gonna go out of my way to
make sure that you're not happy at all.."
Remarkable bird, the Norwegian
Blue. Beautiful plumage.
The plumage don't enter into it.
It's stone-dead.
No, no, no. It's resting.
All Right, then. If it's
resting, I'll wake it up.
Hello, Polly! I got a nice Cuttlefish for
you when you wake up, Polly Parrot!
- There, it moved.
- No, it didn't.
Nathan.
Nathan...
It's fine.
I've done it before.
Just got a bit carried
away this time.
How did your mum and
dad explain it to you?
When they found out.
I presume you've
been diagnosed.
Mine said it made me unique.
"No one wants to be
ordinary," they said.
as long as you're gifted.
But if you're not gifted, then...
That just leaves weird.
Doesn't it?
You are gifted, Luke.
I don't even enjoy it.
Maths.
Isn't that stupid?
What's the point?
Right, away you go.
Your chariot awaits.
Nathan, can I have a word?
a non-mathematical nature,
they always struggle with the notion
that mathematics can be beautiful.
But if beauty is truth
and truth is beauty,
well, then surely mathematics is
the most beautiful thing of all.
No?
There is rare beauty
in your work, Nathan.
But you are unpredictable and
inconsistent. Which worries me.
You need to focus if
you're gonna win a medal.
And don't be distracted
by your Chinese guest.
Cai Hong!
- The rainbow.
- Yeah, rainbow, cai Hong.
- Cai hpng.
- Yeah.
- Cai Hong.
- Cai Hong.
So beautiful.
- Welcome home. Hi, darling.
- Hey!
- Hi, darling... Hi!
- Welcome back.
Hi! Hello, sweetheart.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How do you pronounce your name?
- Zhang Mei.
- Zhang Mei. Julie. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
We put a little... Wait,
Cambridge, here we come!
Whoo-whom whoo-whoo!
Why did you get
my train set out?
Um... Nathan...
Sorry.
- Welcome to England.
- Thank you.
Nathan.
Nathan, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry about the train.
So that's Zhang Mei, is it?
What's she like?
She's... She's clever.
And she's nice, too.
Sounds to me like
you quite like her.
Of course I like her.
Yeah, no, I mean, like: More
than you normally like things.
You know, like more than...
Ice cream. Or...
Or maths.
I don't like anything
more than I like maths.
Nathan, darling, I wish
you'd just called me.
Let me know that
you're okay, you know?
Why?
Well, because, darling...
I like you...
More than I like ice cream.
I said she could have my room.
That's very gentlemanly of you.
Isn't that the right thing to do?
Yes.
So, I'm I'm blowing this
up for you then, am I?
Yeah. But, can I
have it in my room?
Zhang Mei's in there.
We might want to study.
So, that man today,
he is not your father?
No, he's my teacher.
My father died.
I'm sorry, Nathan.
It's not your fault.
I mean, I feel sad for you.
It must be hard to lose someone
that you love so much.
You think it will work?
100%? I hope so.
We did it! It actually works.
Right-observers. It's
time to assemble.
Panama hats, Richard? Really?
Yes, it was a
consensus decision.
I discussed it with myself and I
decided it would be a good idea.
Are you sure you're not
too rusty for all this?
I can manage a bit
of shepherding.
Been Nathan's teacher for seven
years, I wanna see this through.
He's a very sensitive kid.
Yeah, yeah, I suppose
children are like animals.
You get attached to
them after a while.
My gosh! Is this
where you're staying?
Wow.
Well...
So, um, you've got your phone on you
and you know you can call me any time.
So...
I'll be thinking of you.
Okay. Well, goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Bye, darling.
- What are you doing?
- I was taking your hand.
Come on!
You let go!
Isaac Newton. G.H. Hardy.
Ramanujan. Bertrand Russell.
They all began their
mathematical journeys here.
Trinity alumni have accumulated
thirty two Nobel prizes
and no less than
four Fields Medals.
Although Russell did go off the
rails somewhat later in his career.
But nevertheless, this is
the most prestigious place
to study mathematics on the
planet. And you are here.
Because they are the past
and you are the future.
So don't let me down.
Ladies and gentlemen,
To the 59th International.
Mathematical Olympiad
in Cambridge.
Please welcome Australia.
A warm welcome
for Bangladesh.
Canada.
The People's Republic of China.
A round of applause
for United Kingdom.
- Nathan?
- Yeah?
I can't sleep.
You can, stay here if you
want. Like... Like at home.
What are you reading?
It's the Ten Years of
Mathematical Challenges,
'97 to '06 edition.
I'm sorry.
Is that right?
Yes.
Are you okay?
I am glad I am here with you.
Me, too.
I can't be here with people
thinking I don't deserve it.
Why don't you just stay until
the end of the competition?
No, Nathan!
Nathan...
Just because...
Just because I'm going, it...
It does not mean that...
I don't find myself liking you.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Nathan? Um...
Did you get into trouble?
About Zhang Mei?
I think I might
have accidentally
sort of mentioned
something to someone.
I didn't mean to hurt
anyone. It's just...
Anyway...
I'm sorry.
- Oi!
- Oggy!
- Oi!
- Oggy, Oggy, Oggy!
Oi, Oi, Oi!
Hello, Nathan.
I know, I know, I know. I know you
said not to bother you, but I just, um...
Well, I just wanted to... I wanted
