Do the Math! 2-Year-Old Math Genius Devyn Outsmarts Simon Cowell and Shocks AGT
America’s Got Talent frequently welcomes brilliant prodigies, but the audition of a toddler named Devyn officially shattered records as one of the youngest and most staggering acts to ever grace the stage. Assisted by his proud father, the 2-year-old math whiz walked out to the judging panel to deliver a live demonstration of advanced mental arithmetic that left the audience—and a visibly humbled Simon Cowell—completely speechless.
The demonstration began with what seemed like a simple challenge: the father asked the judges to call out random numbers. Terry Crews kicked things off by shouting out a single-digit multiplication problem, asking Devyn to multiply 7 by 9. Without missing a beat or even looking at his fingers, the toddler instantly shouted out the correct answer, “63,” sending a wave of absolute shock through the arena.
As the audition progressed, the complexity scaled dramatically. Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara threw out a multi-digit multiplication challenge, asking the toddler to solve 44 multiplied by 13. While the audience watched the little boy visually calculate the numerical structure in his head, he confidently blurted out “572.” By the time Simon Cowell tossed out his own multi-digit equation—asking the toddler to solve 79 multiplied by 7—Devyn didn’t even flinch, breaking down the mathematical steps out loud before arriving flawlessly at “553.”
The panel was left in an absolute state of awe, with several judges admitting they would need a calculator just to keep pace with a child who still belongs in preschool. Howie Mandel laughed at his own limitations, admitting, “I can’t do that, and I’m 55 years old!” Simon Cowell led a massive standing ovation for the little genius, jokingly asking if Devyn could help negotiate his next multimillion-dollar Hollywood contract. Capping off the historic audition, the panel united to hand Devyn a unanimous sweep of four enthusiastic “yeses,” making him the youngest advanced contestant in AGT history and leaving Simon to hilariously confess, “I now feel really stupid.”
