When he is not studying, the maths genius enjoys sudokus and solving Rubik's cubes.

Meet intelligent 2-year-old genius
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Omphile Tswai might still be in nappies and a couple of years away from Grade 1, but the two-year-old is already intellectually far beyond his age.
The Mabopane toddler can read, write and identify geometric shapes and he's only turning three-years-old on July 27. According to IOL, Tswai can write the entire alphabet, along with words associated with each letter. He started with 'apple' for A and went all the way to 'zebra' for the letter Z.
Lebogang Tswai, the young genius' mother, said her child is a perfectionist whose curiosity contributes to his eagerness to learn. The 39-year-old mom added that he has an amazing memory and an extensive vocabulary, but his feelings are easily hurt because Tswai is a "sensitive" child. His brother, 24-year-old Katlego Tswai, said they realised Tswai was different when he showed no interest in playing with other kids.
