Hong Kong's youngest ever university student started his math course on Sep. 4. He said he is already bored with the "very easy" class.
The nine-year-old math genius got two grade As and a B in his A-levels in England. The A-levels are normally taken by 18-year-olds.
March Boedihardjo told reporters at Hong Kong Baptist University he was excited about starting school, but the classes were not hard.

"I've learned it a year or two years ago," Boedihardjo said as reporters asked him questions and cameras flashed around him.
The boy appeared impatient with the large number of questions from reporters and kept asking his father when they could leave.
Boedihardjo did not think much of his classmates, either.
"They made no response (in classes). They just listened in the class and didn't interact with each other," he said.
The boy said that his old school friends "wanted to play," unlike the university students.(AFP)
香港有史以來最年輕的大學新鮮人在九月四日入學就讀數學系。他表示,課程對他來說有點「太淺顯」了。
這個九歲數學神童在英國高級會考中,拿到兩科A及一科B。高級會考的應試者通常是十八歲的青年。
沈詩鈞在香港浸會大學對記者說,他很興奮開學了,但是課程卻過於容易。
「這個我一兩年前就已經學過了。」沈詩鈞在記者採訪時回答,身邊鎂光燈則閃個不停。
面對記者的追訪,沈詩鈞顯得不耐煩,並一直問他父親他們何時可以離開。
沈詩鈞也不太欣賞他的新同學。
「他們(在課堂上)都沒什麼反應,他們只是坐著聽課,不會和其他人互動,」他說。
沈詩鈞說,他之前學校的同學都「好玩」,跟現在的同學不太一樣。

A: Hard rock band Guns N’ Roses is touring Taiwan tomorrow. What about pop diva Lady Gaga? B: Unfortunately, Singapore has once again exclusively secured Gaga’s concerts in Asia, just like Taylor Swift’s exclusive Asian shows last year. A: The Singaporean government reportedly paid up to US$2.2 million to secure Swift’s shows. B: And the shows did boost its economy and tourism. A: But I’m angry about this approach, so I’m not going to Gaga’s shows this time. A: 硬式搖滾天團槍與玫瑰明天即將來台,流行天后女神卡卡呢? B: 真可惜,新加坡再度取得卡卡亞洲巡演的獨家主辦權,就像去年泰勒絲的亞洲獨家演出一樣。 A: 據報導新加坡政府付出高達220萬美元,取得泰勒絲的亞洲獨家主辦權。 B: 而她的秀也的確提振了該國的經濟和旅遊業。 A: 但我對此還是很不爽,所以不去新加坡看卡卡了! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張迪)
A: Hard rock band Guns N’ Roses and pop diva Lady Gaga are finally touring Asia again. B: Are they also coming to Taiwan? A: The band will stage a show at the Taoyuan Sunlight Arena on Saturday.

A: Let’s go celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release. A: 硬式搖滾天團槍與玫瑰、女神卡卡終於再度展開亞洲巡演了。 B: 他們也會來台巡演嗎? A: 槍與玫瑰本週六即將在桃園陽光劇場開唱唷。 B: 哇這將是該團第三次來台演出,我超愛他們1992年強力情歌《November Rain》,全長近9分鐘還曾是告示牌排行榜最長神曲。 A: 那我們一起去慶祝該團出道40週年吧! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張迪)
