Kaloyan Geshev managed the tasks of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, cube roots, fractions, currency conversion, conversion of measurement units, calculation of calendar dates and many others in less than two hours. He only had a sheet of paper for writing down the answers.

56 children from 13 countries participated in the competition and for the second time in its history a child from Europe became the winner.
