I was 11 years old when i met rex barcelo from grandma`s place (province).
Math was not his strong suit and i took it upon myself to tutor him on the subject, sometimes giving him problems to work on at home. One afternoon, i gave him the trickiest problem i had ever given him. I was doubtful that he could complete it, and he seemed to be as well. Nonetheless, he promised me that he would try his hardest.

The next morning i was greeted by rex` excited exclamations that he had done it. I checked over his work, and was staggered to see that he had indeed gotten to the answer. However, instead of telling him this, i decided to play a little trick on him, i took out some paper and pretended to work on the problem myself, intentionally making a few mistakes here and there.
I told him that i had worked it out and had gotten to a different answer to him--hee immediately assumed that he had gotten the problem wrong, but still whipped out his trusty calculator, in order to finalise which answer was correct.
I will never forget that toothy smile that spread across his face hahahahhaha
